Quick Tip
Start an ICU Journal
Document daily events, visitors, and progress for your loved one to read later during recovery. Include photos, cards from friends, or drawings from grandchildren to make it more personal and healing.
Keep track of all medications, reactions, doctor notes, and care instructions in one place. I filled mine with everything I’d collected and printed—it became my absolute bible for tracking how he responded to medications and remembering all the details nurses and doctors should know.
