    I am in the ICU with a terminally ill family member. I am pretty much in my own dealing with this as my family is beyond dysfunctional. The nurses here are making me feel welcome and are consoling me as things worsen. Thank you to those who are taking the extra step to help me through this.

  5. Thank you.
  6. I pray your loved one pulls through. Kudos to the ICU nurses giving great care and consoling you. This is what makes me roll out of bed at 4:45am, I love being a nurse ( specifically in ICU).

    Thank you as well. Unfortunately my father is not going to survive much longer.
  8. God bless you and your family. My prayers go out to you. I know losing someone is beyond words...
  9. Well as an update my father has just opened his eyes. He is in a semi vegetative state, but has the whole team speechless. I don't know what all this means, but I am hoping this is for the best.
  10. I am so sorry you are going through this. All nurses need to remember that many times family is as much a priority as the patient. Like I tell all my families, please try to rest and be sure you are eating and staying hydrated.

    Thank you. His nurse kicked me out and told me to go eat something. So I'll do that. I just hope the good news continues.
  12. Good luck my friend.
