Many things we encounter in the ER makes us count our blessings. A 45 year old who survived breast cancer & was told there was 0 chance of recurrence is now battling breast cancer (despite a double mastectomy) AND liver cancer. Her quiet, gentle and loyal husband is sleeping at her feet, waking at the slightest noise. A family of 5 who lives in a shelter, the most polite kids, an exhausted mother, and a polite, kind, firm father. A 9 year old who gets panic attacks when anyone talks about her father who's in jail, and she asks the doctor to write a note to the jail telling them she needs her daddy home and she misses him very much.
Count your blessings.
