Moving rooms again. Always moving.
A pod.
B pod.
Back to A.
Gathering everything we owned
into carts and bins.
Chest tubes hanging delicately,
lines and wires trailing behind her
like anchors to the floor.
Every tube accounted for.
Every container measured.
Suction humming.
Squeaking wheels down the hallway.
Machines following close behind.
Another room.
Another bed.
Another view of the brick building outside the window.
And then—
your stomach drops. Something isn’t right.
She’s breathing differently. She looks different.
Your heart starts racing
because a mother knows.
You say something.
Then again.
You try to explain
that something has changed.
That instinct
you can’t ignore.
Because when it’s your child
you learn to trust that voice.
You keep asking. Keep advocating.
Keep pushing past the doubt
that tries to creep in.
And then—
Curry walks in.
She listens. Really listens.
She looks at Melanie
the way we were looking at her.
Seeing what we saw.
Hearing what we were saying.
In that moment
she didn’t just see a patient.
She saw a family
trying to protect their child.
She stepped in.
Calm.
Focused.
Certain.
Working quickly
to find the problem.
And in doing so
she reminded us of something
every heart parent hopes for—
that someone is standing beside you
who truly sees your child
the way you do.
Today’s dedication is for Curry, a Surgical Nurse Practitioner who showed us what it means to listen, to care, and to treat families like they truly matter. Because sometimes the greatest difference someone can make is simply believing a parent when they say something isn’t right.
Day 8 Shirt — $15 Available for 24 hours.
Wear it for the hands that were there when everything changed.
