Marissa received two units of blood (about a quart) in the ER a few weeks ago; one year of heavy menstrual bleeding had left her severely anemic. We discussed less invasive options, but decided to proceed with a hysterectomy.
Then she explained why she needs to be as strong as she can. Her 19 yr old son tried to hang himself last year. Found in a closet, revived, but paraplegic with severe brain damage.
"I'm going to bring him back," she says. Irrational? Sure, and she would probably be first to admit it, but how else can she keep going every day, day after da?
