....I told you of an employee of mine that almost died septic at KGH several years ago. She’s my age.
I sat with her daily. I read to her, I Prayed, I talked, I supported her. I was at ICU so much they assumed I was her sister. I care for my employees like family. Most of us became family quickly.
I believed she would get better. When I saw signs of life in her I was giddy and exited and admittedly proud that I got her to respond.
I asked my team at the time to color pictures to decorate her hospital room. It was so blah in there. I told them it would be awesome for her to wake up to. They did, although they thought I was nuts. My husband thought I was crazy and that I would soon realize it didn’t matter. He told me I was wasting my time and causing my self too much angst.
Somehow I still fit it all in to my days and never strayed from my Mommy duties, work duties, or home duties. When things like that happen I think somehow you discover more time in the day to fit it all in. I really don’t know.
What I do know, is it did make a difference. She awoke to see those a few weeks later. She improved day after day. Not because of some silly little butterflies cut out and taped in her room. But because of Faith, Care, and Support (however that looked).
She is the miraculous Mama of two little girls now. In cute pink and purple bedrooms in their new house. Mama & Daddy busy decorating and building a home for their precious blessed family that went through so much to get there.
Check out her oldest’s room and what hangs on the wall framed for safe keeping.
So proud of you, Amy & Jeff!
