Please try to care for yourself during this difficult time. I'm sure you are hearing that a lot, but it is because it truly is important and good advice.

I have been bedside at the ICU basically non-stop for the past week dealing with a similarly dire situation, I understand what you are going through. Please try to be strong, and try take comfort knowing that you are not alone.
