We don’t talk about this enough.
The guilt.
The heartbreak.
The way it feels to hold your child down for labs or procedures. Whispering “I’m so sorry” while they cry.
You see the fear in their eyes every time a doctor walks in.
You know they’ve been through more in their little life than some adults go through in decades.
And it shatters you…every single time.
We wish we could trade places.
We wish we could take it all away.
We carry guilt for things we can’t control, because that’s what moms do.
But here’s the truth:
You are not failing them.
You are their safe place.
Their advocate.
To every medical mom out there…
You are doing enough.
And you’re not alone.
Next week is going to be an extremely long week, it will be draining. Mentally, and physically exhausting as we will be at Nationwide Children’s hospital. A week full of new scans, cardiac tests, and surgery with a long recovery. Please keep her in your prayers and for a speedy recovery.
If you want to help with gas, or essentials while we’re in Columbus it’s appreciated more than you will know!
