What an absolutely beautiful moment between the two of you. Now that he is getting better slowly but surely your presence is even more important. Many patients have said that it was the family that actually helped them to stay connected and to fight. You are such a powerful medicinal factor in his life right now and you must know how important you are. Use your beautiful spirit to give him the strength to fight each day to get better. There is no power greater than love. I have seen miracles and it does work!
It means a lot to Rodney having you there. But remember to take care of yourself too. Spending days in the hospital can be a drain on anyone. If you get the chance, re-energize by taking a walk in the warm sun or get fresh air by sitting outside and reading. Hospital air is re-circulated so I feel it is good to get fresh air once in a while. In fact, when Rodney gets better maybe some days he can get wheeled outside for a few minutes of fresh aid. In my research, patients got better when they got fresh air and the sun.
My thoughts and best wishes are with you and Rodney! Please take care Tamaralovelace. You are a very, very special and strong and gifted person who will make all the difference for everyone!!!!! ..... Cabbagepatch :D
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful comments! I have started to breathe again after holding everything in for many days. It has been such an emotional roller coaster and I am enjoying the plateau that allows for the appearance of these small steps :) I am taking a break from the hospital today to deal with this hurricane. Rodney is safe at the hospital and his father is staying with him. It eats at me to not be at his bedside, but I must care for things here or there may be no place for him to come home to. I have been praying hard to shift that thing to the left and it has, over the last days. I need a clone lol
Thank you again, for your good thoughts and wishes!! They truly do mean the world to me and I hold them close to my heart <3
I'm glad that Rodney's father is also there to be by his side. You certainly have shouldered a big load for these past few weeks. I hope the hurricane shifts away too. It's been a very difficult year for everyone. Please be safe Tamaralovelace and most of all, please take good care of yourself. You have gone through so much and I would hate to see you get ill from all the stress and pain. My thoughts are continually with you and Rodney. I really appreciate any updates from you. Hang in there with strength and determination! And keep writing!!!!! :D
