A while back Dave had a patient die. Why? His parents missed medication ONE NIGHT and by morning he was essentially dead. I have been thinking about this a lot. Here are my thoughts:
#1. I have missed medication before. Calvin would be dead several times over. I can't imagine living with that level of stress on me. Sometimes I feel like I have a lot to juggle with the very small medical needs I deal with but SERIOUSLY, there is so much worse.
#2. Those poor parents and the guilt, even though they did amazingly well and were probably hyper diligent over the years.
#3. My life is so easy compared to SO many others. I don't very often know other peoples battles but when I do I am truly humbled by mine.
#4. So thankful to have healthy children.
#5. Life is so fragile. Even for healthy children, things can change in the blink of an eye.
#6. Dave deals with a lot at work. His tough day (telling the mom that the child was dead) is waaaayyyy tougher than my regular tough day. And still even tougher than a Calvin style tough day. Love him.
