Hi Jackie,

I know exactly how you feel as it was not that long ago that I stood in the same spot you did. It was tough leaving Dad at the hospital when we needed to go home. I don't know how it is at the hospital where your mother is, but where Dad was, when he was in the Surgical Trama Unit, he had one nurse assigned to him and only him.

I'm sure you mom is in good hands where she is. Call the unit and check on her as much as you would like. The staff where we were told us if we woke up at 2 in the morning and wanted to call that it was fine.

Hang in there. It does get better.

Sending good thoughts and prayers your way.

Joy
