sorry i didnt know where to put this but here goes i recently wrote that i had to decide to place my husband in a nursing home for health reasons well today the unexpected happened he has been bacl in the hospital since thursday i went up yesterday to stay with him this morning about 10am he crashes couldnt breathe , lungs extremely wet and cyanotic sats were in the 70-80s long story short he was intubated this morning and is in sicu on a ventilator does not look good bad part is he had to be intubated in the room i saw everything it is something i can never forget oh god i hope someone else doesnt go through this hell today but in my heart i know they will i feel like i am on a merry go round and cant get off this ride please pray for us i think i am still in shock am at home now will try to eat and rest am going to leave it to those hands that are specially trained to do this job and the will of God be done as of right now he has been stabilized i hope this is a good start thank you all for being a friend and for your prayers
thank you so much i can feel the prayers strengthening me i called sicu for a update at 740 pm cst dopamine still going to keep bp up reading at 106/61 sedation turned off for 30 minutes to assess he followed commands, squeezed the nurse's hand to let her know he understood and nodded his head, he then proceeded to try to sit up in bed so sedation was turned back on i think this is some good news i understand this is a very slow and touchy process but praise god maybe i can try to sleep easier tonight i am at home will allow them to take care of him while i am trying to take care of me please keep the prayers flowing it lifts me up when i need so desperately hopefully somebody who works icu might have the time to explain things to me as i update my friends you all most definitely my support system at this most trying time i will pray for my friends may gods will be done i leave it in gods hands love to all of you tigger2sassy
