 Dad's been moved out of the ICU - one step forward! 👍 

I circled back to the ICU nurses and gave them a cookie tray. I thanked them, and, once again,  I was reminded of how recognition for their hard work is not as common as it should be. In my experience, the nurses have been the ones who kept me from feeling alone and confused. They have enormous workloads, but most have the hearts of a lion and take time to talk to me. They're angels. Recognition should be the norm, not the exception.

When you’re a nurse, you know that every day you will touch a life or a life will touch yours. Not all angels have wings … some have scrubs. Nurses—one of the few blessings of being ill. 🥰

Fantastic news!   Every step forward is a win. 

I agree about nurses! They were a lifeline to us when Mom was in the ICU.
