[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey OP, I get it. I haven't dealt with a fraction of what you have, but one of our kids had a rare reaction to a virus that involved extensive monitoring and so I understand the state of heightened vigilance it puts you in. Also when you're afraid that your child might die (as with your first baby) it's very hard. I'm sorry you have been through so much.

Re: anxiety, not sure if this will be relevant to you, but a lot of what came up for me is understanding that I feel responsible for things outside my control. There is no easy path through these situations, but once I tried to do all the practical things I could to assist in healing/good health and think positive thoughts about the possible outcome, it was a little more bearable. Try to set some time aside for yourself to take care of yourself and dig down deeper to see what this might be bringing up for you -- feelings of inadequacy, guilt, etc. These situations can be really hard on the caregiver.
