update today-- well it has been three days now since my husband was taken off the vent so far vital signs have been stable he has been verbally responding and following commands staff informs me that his respirations have been labored at times he was at 20-25 early this morning still is in afib though pulse at 96 still being fed through ng tube i am grateful that he is getting the care he needs as for me i am tired but still hanging in there i am unable to visit on a daily basis due to finances i have to realize i have to let them take care of him and i must try to take care of myself or there will be no one to take care of me i hope that i am not being selfish by doing this but i have to keep myself as healthy as i can like i said in another post i am giving it over into gods hands as i cannot do all this alone i am willing to make sacrifices to do what is best for me and my husband i ask that you pray for me to have strength to do what i must do am working some 12 and 8 hour shifts am trying to take care of myself thank you for your prayers and messages this really helps a lot and means a lot may god bless each and every one of you tigger
