I have spent the last week in ICU at Froedert because Gary had an accident and was on life support. Watching someone onlife support not easy. They told us he was brain dead and his wife decided to remove the respirator. He only lasted a few minutes without it. It was so sad. Explaining to the children that came to say goodbye was hard but I think I explained it to the children that visited him ok. What can I say….TEACHER….I really think if they have ICU open to kids, they should have a educator on duty to help them learn and experience what is happening. The family is in too big of a crisis to do that, at the time.
