And Just to Prove My Point
Without going into details, it was a tough day for us—my dad, my mom, and me—in the ICU today. Fortunately, Kelly, our very favorite nurse, was on duty today. Even more fortunately, she was assigned to my dad.
In the midst of the toughness, when there was nothing much to do except D-14, Kelly walked in and told my mom and me that today happened to be the birthday of the ICU clerk, a great guy who has been a real ally for us these past two-plus weeks.
She knew there wasn't a whole lot she could do for us that she wasn't already doing—taking great care of my dad, that is—but there was one small thing.
She brought each of us a piece of birthday cake.
