I have been a visitor in the hospital pretty much every day for the past 16 days, and I have incredible reverence for those who devote their lives to saving others! When I have been a patient so many times, I was only aware of my needs, that which was done to help me survive, too sick to focus on what miracles are performed by the day, by the hour and by the minute. My appreciation was for a warm blanket, a cool towel or a sip of water. Grateful to the medical staff for their knowledge and diligence, I had no concept of the scope of how connected a team they are. Until I was the one praying for the survival of a loved one in the waiting room, or in the patient’s room, or in the cafeteria, or anywhere near where the miracles happen.
