What an absolute priveledge to be in the middle of this love affair between a man and a woman. There lies my patient, in desperate need of my professional care while being thick in love with this woman by his bedside, his wife. Her anguish is palpable to me while the blood inside his head has removed him from the stark reality she faces alone right now.
Please God allow him the comfort of your precious time and gracious healing. Please help me to find words to comfort her. Help me find the interventions to pull him back to her. The neurosurgeon has performed his work with God’s hands, champion of learning, archangel of life’s greatest dream. He has wielded his magic one more time. Pulling together all the years of sleepless nights, learning and sacrifice to perfect his lonely magnificence; to save a life.
Please God help me to use my twelve hours today to bring my patient home – home to his consolidated family, built on love. His kids, her kids and the baby they made together about to start college this fall. Dear God help me to give that part of me you gave to me to make this family whole again. Un-break all our hearts.
Amen.
Incredible Journey 
You nailed it. As the NICU case manager for many many years I have had a very similar experience. I may not spent time at the bedside healing but I surely have hand held, researched and pulled more than one rabbit out of my hat trying to develop an appropriate discharge plan.
