I remember your family's...I am a nurse in the CCU. I remember your family's struggle so well. I agree completely with the incorporation of palliation at the beginning of care. Palliation does not mean death, but rather the acceptance of the possibility and always a focus on comfort. As nurses, being with a child and family for 12 hours at a time we share in your frustration and anguish when things do not go by the "plan". Earlier in your blog you said that being in CCU was like being in a warzone- i agree, and unfortunately, family centered care is a victim in that warzone. CCU is a minute to minute number focused place where the wishes of the family are not always in the forefront or even asked for... Please, when you are ready continue your comittment to helping us see how we can make our warzone a little less so for our familiesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
