Saw PJ's post and sent message via LJ to T.

How horrible.

You are a dear to be there and be able to offer your special brand of support to her and her family. Please keep us posted.

Thank you for saying so, Irish. I'm grateful to have something specific to offer. It sure made me feel less helpless (relatively). *sigh

I only know T by seeing her around my flists posts, but please pass on my P&PT to her. I hope for the most awesome of outcomes. Cute docs or nurses would be a bonus too because no matter how much you love your husband, a little eye candy when you are scared is a nice thing.

I'm so grateful you ended up there. When I had my near death thing, the hospital never offered to send anyone to talk to me and while I was ok during the day, at night it was just me, my thoughts, and the night nurses. They tried to help, but . . . . Having someone to help you process is so helpful.

HUGS to you for being awesome too!

It continues to astonish and disappoint me that hospitals miss the power of emotional support in the healing process. We all were impressed with the warmth and empathy of the hospital staff, so that was good. They all commented on how much support she's getting (with the room full of fangurls!)

When Annie told me that T wanted to talk with me (I couldn't get there until Sat night b/c it was Shabbat), my reaction was overwhelming relief and gratitude to have something I could offer... something to DO. I was (and am) really grateful to have the opportunity to be here...
