Life of a Medical Mom
To be a medical mom, the term isn't heard very often and people don't quite understand what it is to be one. A medical mom goes through more trials then any other type of mom. Our lives revolve around hospitals, doctors, exams, procedures, and several types of medical terms we have no clue about! As a medical mom, our mothering tactics are taught differently, we are always on our toes/feet ready to go at the slightest move. We watch as our little ones go through things we can't fathom going through. They are poked with needs, always on some medication we can't pronounce, sometimes if they are still young we watch as they get IVs put into their little heads because it's the only place they can find a viable vein. We sit in waiting rooms during surgeries rattled with worry as family does their best to try and take our minds off the fact our child could die. A medical mom's life is never an easy one to live. We sit at bedside some nights afraid to leave their side, forgetting that we need to shower, eat, and even sleep. Our child's machines are our lullabies for when we do finally fall asleep but once those machines begin to beep we are awake again ready for the worst. Two and a half months, six months, five years, 15 years, these are some times for when moms and children are in the hospital some kids never leave, others leave then within days are back and even in worse shape.
