Abstract/OtherAbstract:
This article describes the family-centered care that the National Naval Medical Center provided to the family members of a war-wounded soldier. It also includes the compelling written thoughts of a mother's bedside vigil during the 32 days her son spent in a sedated and ventilated state in the intensive care unit.
