Dear Laura,
I just read your latest update on Eddie, one day at a time. One of my co-workers was seriously burned in a house fire a year ago and she was in a medically induced coma. We were told the doctors did it to keep her from moving around so that the healing process could start. It's a blessing that Eddie doesn't feel the pain now. A lot lies ahead for all of you and at times will probably be unbearable. It's so hard to find the words to express how terrible I feel about this tragedy and I wish I knew how to make all of this go away. Perhaps many others, like myself, feel totally helpless; what to say, what to do for all of you. Laura, take care of yourself. Even though you may be completely overwhelmed, get your rest, be sure to eat and if you need to vent or scream or cry, come to us. Your PT family is here for you. My thoughts and prayers remain with you! God bless.....
