Yep, She's Right

Yes, Anna is correct; I was supposed to post a new blog to update everyone on her condition. I failed.
From a parent stand point this disease sucks big time. By the time our children are 26 they are supposed to have a life of their own, barely having time to talk when you call them. You are supposed to go to their home for the holiday's and be imerged in your own pointless hobbies. But...
Anna lives with me, I worry about her 24 hours a day, I check on her every morning before I leave the house, I check on her before I give Dan a hello kiss at the end of my work day, if I don't receive a call from her atleast once a day I worry sick, I miss her company if she is in her room playing on the computer in the evening instead of sitting on the couch with me.
I want to go to the mall with her, walk around the neighborhood with her, play bingo with her, hear about the awesome things she did or saw or learned today. Instead I stroke her hair, kiss her forhead, ask her how she is feeling, and what she has been doing.
Last night I told her I still hold faith that she has PH for a reason. I don't know if it to help her, me, her doctor's and nurses, or some unknown person to us. But of all the aweful things she has been through, they are good.
Last week when we were in the post op recovery area her nurse, Sondra came to see her. First thing she did was give Anna a hug. Then her doctor, Todd Bull came to see her and the first thing he did was give her a hug. This is what medical care is supposed to be for everyone. All of us should have a relationship with our medical team like Anna does. And it doesn't stop with her Denver doctor's; her doctor's here in GJ are the same-the first thing Dr. Faber does when he walks into the exam room is give her a hug. She may be a challenge to Dr. Terry, but he love's seeing her each time. How many of us can say that about our doctor(s)?

South Dakota??? No I don't think it is a wise thing for her to do. I understand her desire and felt need, I also understand the physical condition she will be in when she returns to me. She will be weak, exhausted, ill, and in pain. Is it worth it? To me...NO. To her...maybe. But I will be here to help her recover, gain her strength, and work through the pain.
I will be here......
I LOVE YOU ANNA!!
