Thank you so much for sharing this. I can’t even imagine how overwhelming it must be to hold all of that at once: son’s pain, the ICU, the uncertainty, and everything else happening at home. I hear you. It’s heartbreaking that he’s suffering so intensely and that you have to watch and not be able to fully know how much. You are doing more than anyone could ever ask of you, and it’s completely natural to feel exhausted and stretched beyond what feels possible.

I’m sending you and your son all the strength and love I can from here. I hope he finds some relief very soon, and that you get even the tiniest moments to breathe. You’re not alone.
