weaning, not whining

when i went in this morning

there was a big orange sign hanging over her bed

WEANING IN PROGRESS

little by little

they are weaning her off of the breathing machine

an hour here and an hour there

she has to learn to breath on her own


this has been tough on her

she sometimes struggles and it's frustrating and it hurts

she continues to complain about chest pains

the nurses and her doctors and the machines and her mother are checking everything

everything seems OK


she seems so weak and out of it

guess that's to be expected

it's just so hard to see her this way

she does smile when her mom reads her her mail


her heart has been so over worked for so long

it's gonna take awhile to start to feel and work normal, i guess


i'm outta the loop

they don't discuss too much with me

mainly because her mom is right there 'on the case'

also acacia has asked me to leave a couple of times now


no whining
