A colleague has a 4 y/o who is intubated due to COVID and asked us, a group of physician friends, how to tell the 6 y/o their sibling may not come home. This is what happens when you leave masks up to parent choice - this child wore TWO masks, other kids didn’t.
I lost my mother this week, a strong and loving person who did not like the spotlight. I’m grateful she’s no longer in pain. I’ve more fully come to understand what “rest in peace” means. Hold your loved ones close.
