You have once again composed a deeply touching testimony. You offer maternal wisdom as you describe your vulnerable moments during an unfolding medical crisis. In rapid time you were exposed to the contrasts between the medical and maternal mindsets.

The resources you shared enhance the importance of this post for parents and medical providers as well.
