I have included the link to my last post in case anyone stumbles across this and is confused....because boy am I confused.
There is no change with my son yet. They put him on life support to help him breathe and gave him many drugs to calm him ( they wouldn't give us any) and are treating him with every drug under the sun. I get up every morning and drive the 1 1/2 hours to sit and wait, to be there for his fiance who is crumbling in front of my eyes and needs our strength to keep her strong and calm.
Her family is here now sitting with her so today I am home trying to get caught up, clothes washed, all that shit that continues on while you are elsewhere whether you want it to or not.
My son is still in the ICU with a very long road in front of him, when he pulls through ( yes keep praying please) he will be on medication for the rest of his life and may need to move out of California.
Her family is with her today, we will see about tomorrow, my daughter and sister will go in Monday and Tuesday so I can go to work and then I will go back until Friday so I won't be here much but know I will try harder to keep everyone informed of what is happening.
Monday they take him off the respirator, Tuesday they will do another lumbar puncture, to track how the medicine is working, and as soon as the CT machine is fixed they will do another scan to make sure he didn't have a stroke that he just ( just, HA how fast we adapt) has fungus in his brain affecting how he acted.
That is about all I can tell you now but your prayers are helping, he is still with us and miracles do happen I REFUSE to give up so keep your prayers and candles and good thoughts flying my way please and I will be back with more info as I can.

I know that leaving where he is even for the few moments it takes to scarf down a little hospital food is difficult, let alone actually leaving the hospital at all, but there's a tiny plus in returning to the mundane long enough to clean and clear a bit (and touch base with us ;).
Your stress levels are off the charts, even a small amount of time spent doing essentially 'mindless' chores is a break your mind and body can make use of. Getting out of the hospital itself provides some 'free air' to breathe (so try if you can when you're there to take little walks outside if possible). Otherwise, just do what your 'little voice' is urging you to do - and make sure you take care of yourself too :).
Rated for combined energies.
Count with my prayers.
Thank you all for the continued prayers, love and support. They help me to hold on.....
