15. Do not go gentle into that good night, fight.

You are her champion and I know you are fighting hard for her and we all here wish you well, but please fight hard. You sound like her advocate and caregiver. Do not be afraid to challenge your doctor tomorrow and demand she get seen or get in if you feel she needs to be in the hospital.

When my mom was ill, I was her caregiver and many times I had to advocate strongly for her because she was not strong enough or willing. It is hard to express yourself sometimes with doctors and it can be done, with compassion and strength.

I hope tomorrow yields some better results.

Your wife will be in my prayers.
