It all started July 8, 2008

When you go to walk in to the ICU there are 8
signs on the door that says NO NO NO NO
Thats my mother and for her to have access to me
whenever she wants or needs me feels much
morethe doors should say come in, and the
visiting hours should be gone and I should be
part of the care.

If we could have had rounds together, in the
room with my momplanning the care together...I
think it would have been better.

I would point very quickly to the physical
environment. I think that the waiting rooms
areour whole family lived in the waiting room
for 5 days and nights. There is no comfort there.
The waiting room--its not comfortable at
allfamilies need to stay overnight.You need
something inviting and warm and feels like it
takes care of everyone in the facility.
