[@gretchenmann633]

I am praying for all of you. As a nurse who takes care of these children, please know we love your daughter and care for your needs during this time. Ask questions when you have them, and use your voice. That is what helps us the most as caregivers on the same team. Our love for your daughter and your/our teamwork. Best wishes. There will be a time when you look back at this and say....wow....remember that?....remember when? Know we care.
