hapyjacq's blog post - i had a patient today

that was just way cool..... i'm gonna try to nutshell it but she is worth blogging about for sure.....

i asked her is she had a good weekend she said yes it was her daughters b-day... at the same time i was asking her if they partied like rock stars... she was telling me she went and saw her headstone....

her baby girl was diagnosed with leukemia at age 3 and they gave her 6 mos to live... after about 3 years her baby still alive and no matching marrow mom got pregnant to try have a match... her son wasn't....she had her tubes tied 3 weeks after he was born...i asked her why?? if he wasn't a match... she told me she had had her girl and her boy and was content...

her girl passed at age 8... i asked her how she dealt with that... the knowing that she was going to lose her first born.....she told me that she had done what she could and she had to let it go... she couldn't control anything but she could make sure that since her daughter was going to pass she could live her life to the fullest...

she was just so you and so peaceful... so content... so okay with stuff... to me that is i don't even know but... i do know some of you will understand what i'm rattling about....

i truly hope that someday i get there too... and btw she (the daughter) has a day that is celebrated that is dedicated to only her... parade and all....

happy monday... mwa jacq

p.s. mom's tubes tied 7 years ago and mom's 4 mos pregnant with a girl...she's thinking about naming her miracle!!!
