That is wonderful news, your family will continue to be in my prayers.

Hugs to you honey. I hope he gets better. I will definitely pray for him and you. I will also pray for those in charge of his care, to give them knowledge and empathy. Please keep us posted and let us know his condition and how you are doing/feeling. We are here for you!

I am so glad your husband is doing better! Please try to get some rest, we'll still be praying for the both of you.

praying for you to have peace and for your husband to be well taken care of and have comfort.

i guess i spoke too soon this afternoon was so happy about the progress my husband was making i got a call about an hour and a half later from the hospital they were going to have to put him back on the vent they said he was not waking up very well blood sugar 271 and blood pressure going low also was satting around 90% and i was just getting ready to go to work tonight 6p-6a had to call work so they could get someone to cover for me the hospital had asked me to call back for an update at 5 pm which i did at that time they were waiting for the dr to get there i told them i was on my way. by the time i got to the hospital they had already intubated him and had him on the vent i guess it was too soon for him to be off for very long i saw him for two visits then i kissed him bye and came home to get some haha ha rest vital signs were stable when i left i had gotten him to start opening his eyes and follow verbal commands so we starting all over again i guess i hope and pray that everyone forgives me for taking so much time on this it is the only way i have to get things off my chest i dont know what i would do if i didnt have this board and my precious friends of an please continue your prayers for us i am letting go and letting god love to you all tigger

oh my gosh tigger, of course you should always come here for love and support.

i'm sorry to hear about your husband, but feel it's a minor setback.

he just needs more time in progressing himself, and docs need to allow for that.

maybe he's one of those who needs to be weaned.

one day at a time, i know you know that.

you are both very lucky to have ea other.

your love for him is palpable.

and yes, give it over to God.

that's a very wise decision, my friend.

gentle hugs and much love to you both.
