In this raw and unfiltered episode of I Saved You. Now Do the Dishes, I walk you through the moment my husband finally faced what he’d been resisting: the need for a feeding tube. What should have been a moment of compassionate care turned into something else entirely—his physician assistant laughed, told him he made her job harder, and actually said we should pray to our lucky stars she could “work her magic” to get him a feeding tube.
Unprofessional doesn’t even begin to cover it. I got in her face. I yelled. And then I got Gavin admitted to the ER. His white blood cell count was so low, the attending ER physician said Gavin's body was close to shutting down. He was checked into the long-term cancer wing.
This is a story about thresholds—of health, of patience, of love—and what happens when you’re forced to cross them all at once.
If you're a caregiver, I'd love to hear from you. Reach out to me at https://carrieseverson.com/home/ or follow me at https://www.instagram.com/authorcarrieseverson/
