Happy Mother's Day to all of the wonderful mothers out there.
According to Steven's nurse, he had a good night. No ICP issues. His sedation has been lowered to 2mg/hr. Please pray that he can tolerate it.
While talking to the nurse yesterday, I told her that I am nervous about Steven waking up while I am there. I am a nervous nellie...anyone who knows me well know that. I'm worried that if he wakes while I'm there that I will jump/cry/yell/gasp and scare him. I have been trying to prepare myself.
The nurse said every morning they attempt to wake Steven. Dr. Bennett also tries when he does his rounds and he is pretty adamant in his attempts. So...there is a possibility that he will wake up when I'm not there. I think this would be best for all of us.
I struggle with this because I WANT to be there when he wakes up but I DO NOT want to scare him. I just want what's best for him.
So my point with my rambling is...I asked if they tried to wake him this morning and the nurse said not yet...waiting for the Dr. to do his rounds. Let's hope Dr. Bennett is very adamant today. Would be a great Mother's Day present. If not, that's ok. He's still tired...Let my boy sleep.
"You never know how strong you are...until being strong is the only choice you have..." Great quote from a great friend. Thanks Mindy B.
Steven is the strongest person I know.
Love you all...please keep praying <3

Barb, I never thought of you as a nervous nellie. I always admired you. Many times I would think to myself 'What would Barb do?'
ReplyDeleteAnd when Steven wakes up to see you with him, you will do what is exactly right for both of you, just as you've done for 25 years. You won't scare him.
Of course we're still praying.
Happy Mother's Day & we love you.
Dear Barb -- We all wish you could be spending Mother's Day with much different circumstances, but please know Steven is very lucky to have you. You're obvioulsy giving him a lot of strength. Please give my best to Pat too.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day, Barb. You could never scare Steven. When he wakes up, you will do what comes naturally to you...you will be the same Mom that has loved him unconditionally and you will take care of him as you always have. We're all still praying for Steven. God Bless.
