Wow Sharlene... what a week you are having. I hope after today everything settles down at least a little for you, and your BIL is able to recover and have the surgery. Thinking about you and hubby.... God Bless you both.
Sharlene, Prayers and loving hugs to you and your family.
LOL@ Addy! Now that's a true friend Sharlene. I'm hanging out also with the others waiting to see how things are going. Your BIL had a really close call there. Thank the good Lord he was in the hospital where he could get immediate treatment when this happened. Poor Joan Rivers wasn't so lucky. So I figure now that they have this new info, they will also be much more careful how, when and why they do procedures on him, which is a good thing. I hope Daniel's #2 surgery goes as well as the first and he is up and about really soon. This awful week is almost over. You're doing good hanging in!
OK Sharlene, gettin' anxious for an update :o. Surely hoping that everything is under control and going well!
I'm here. Worked this morning, spent the afternoon with Daniel, been on phone with sister since I got home and still have to call hubs mom to update her.
So, Daniel came through surgery just fine, a bit loopy from the morphine injection and amused me quite a bit with the wheelchair and doing the hang ten to everyone on the way to surgery. He's a hoot it turns out when loopy doopy. Who knew!
BIL has turned the corner. It was touch and go most of the night but better today and off the breathing machine. They think he'll be out of ICU in a day or two if he continues to improve.
However, the neuro surgeon says that it is now in his opinion to risky to give him any kind of anesthesia. That it was 20 minutes in from his first getting it that his heart stopped twice and if they had already cut on him, then he would have been lost, that now the concern is that all the anesthesia are very much close to this one and would do the same thing. I don't know where that leaves him as far as his back goes.
But the heart being better is good news at least. Hopefully they can come up with some kind of plan.
Molly had a reverse sneeze attack this morning and wouldn't eat eat or take any meds, couldn't breath. Took about an hour to get her settled. She is Fine now, bouncing around asking for a dental treat.
I am a bit tired. I think over all though that this is about the best possible update to be able to make tonight. They consider BIL stable, and hubby is being his amusing self at the hospital.
Last night, in the lounge after their late night snack. (yea, go figure) a bunch of guys sitting around and one tells a joke, they all start laughing and everyone of them was in pain. So, laugh, groan moan, laugh some more. Daniel said it was really something, you had to be there to thoroughly enjoy the agony of it.
Hugs all!
um, Addy you can uncross now!!
You guys are the greatest!
Whew, what a relief to get this report!!!!! I agree, it sounds like the best under the circumstances all the way around.
Ummmmmmm yeah, I'd think you'd be a bit tired, young lady!!
Poor Molly with the reverse sneezing! It must have been sympathy pain for her daddy and uncle. :o
Good news Sharlene, hope he has detoxed from those drugs before you get him home... imagine him and Molly together, would be a riot! :) continued good thoughts to BIL, hope they get everything figured out for him.
:D :DAddy, I prescribe pelvic floor exercises :) or a bladder retraining programme!!! xx
