When your child is suffering, you’re in a different world entirely, Hospital World, a constricting, bleak, isolated place. Normal World concerns don’t matter to you at all. You don’t care about the news, what the president said, what his critics said, what the news people thought about it. You don’t care if your car needs servicing or your roof has a leak. You don’t make plans. You don’t want to see anybody. You don’t care what you’re wearing, or if you’ve slept, or when you last ate. All you care about is your child.
