Melanie C. Campos ~ MahTame

SCARED AND WORRIED, MAMA

Learning how to do the IV
Cleaning and stuff before
Two tubes and one heparin
I hope I do not give more

Buttons to push in an order
Attach to the inserted pic
Let the machine run the med
Patience is the timely trick

Every eighth hour must give
The antibiotic into the vein
Be watchful of air bubbles
Or tend to any alarm again

I’m scared ʽn’ worried, mama;
IVs, medicine, and drainer
What if I forget how to do it?
I must be brave and calmer

It’s hard to see you like this
‘Tis hard for dad, I am sure
It’s hard for us kids ʽn’ family
Just hoping as we all endure
