A Visit for Jami
Jami lost all three of her daughters because of her drug addiction but was smart enough to have married two excellent men who are now raising her girls. The sad part is that we live in Nebraska and her oldest daughter is in California and the younger two recently had to move to Minnesota where their father is from and found work after getting out of the Air Force a few months ago. Jami has two sister s who each have a daughter so Jami tries to fill that void by loving her nieces extra and loves that they adore her. Unfortunately, she hasn’t been able to see either of them since she got the MRSA. My middle girl won’t let her kids even come to my house since I visit Jami she is so scared, and with good reason, but my youngest daughter understands the disease to not totally freak out so her daughter got to see Aunt Jami briefly today. Jami is saying at a hotel so I felt it safer to visit since the place isn’t covered in little microbes yet and I was hyper-vigilant of every touch during the visit. Oh, you should have seen Jami’s face when I walked in with little Jessalynn!! I surprised her with the visit and their reunion was beautiful. Jessalynn has asked for her Aunt Jami daily for months and they talk on the phone whenever Jami has access to a phone but neither will ever forget this visit!! Jami has no open sores right now and I watched her closely to make sure she didn’t touch her nose without sterilizing her hands and kept wiping Jessalynn’s hands with hospital wipes throughout the short visit. I hope this ray of sunshine in Jami’s life will spark more fire under her to get the MRSA properly treated. Until tomorrow then!
