Bio
I have been here, oh my, 2 or 3 years and in that time I have seen my youngest daughter wed and have my first beautiful granddaughter. I have seen a son join the Navy and fly away and I have buried my oldest son. This makes two sons I have lost and right now the world seems unfair and harsh but someday I will smile again and remember the good times more than the bad. Did I mention the alcoholic husband who has been in the hospital three times near death...it makes me wonder much about why some live, yet don't, and some die who are just starting to live. Out of 6 children I still have 4 and they are the light of my life....

Doing Worse

Rate: 33 Flag

My son went critical again last night, his fiance calling me from the hospital. His blood pressure was sky high and his fever climbing. He has yet another infection in his lungs.

She text me later and said his fever was down and he was breathing well.

So I slept.....

I just now called the hospital and talked to his nurse and she said they have put him on blood pressure medicine and of course tylenol and that is what has made him "stable".

She said very kindly and low he, in her mind, is getting worse, I thanked her for her honesty and hung up.

I have sat here for awhile at work and I guess it is just how my mind works but I started thinking worse? Really? He has 6 different IV's  attached through his body, a feeding tube in his nose and a breathing apparatus down his throat. Worse?

My sister is driving down today and I worry because she always seems to be the one that the "shit" happens too. She was there when they insisted gowns and masks be worn again. She was there when they had her help suction the yuck coming from his throat out. She seems to always get those days.

I am waiting to here more to leave work, my youngest daughter has volunteered to take the animals to the vet if I have to run and yelled at her brother, still home, to get off his lazy duff and help me.

This may be the end of our road or he may rally yet again. I have not given up, I still pray for that miracle but I won't let my son suffer any longer than he needs just for us.

You all ARE my lifeline, you keep me grounded when my world is falling apart and I thank each and everyone of you for that.

I will be back as I can, when I can, to update.

Your tag says it all. This made me cry also.
LL2, as I said before, he is young, young people have an incredible ability to be horrible then make a complete come back. I am praying this is the case.
there was an internet outage here and then the modem went nuts due to the outage, so I couldn't get online. I was so hoping that when I could get back on your son would be better and even ok. I'm so sorry . But, miracles can still happen.... So glad you have a lifeline here. Sending prayers your way.
Keep writing, we'll keep listening . . . holding you all in our hearts . . .
Keeping a candle in the mind lit for you.
Well, it sounds like he is getting the best care this modern age has to offer. I'm right there with you and admire you working and taking care of the pets and yourself too. You are so special. I am so sorry.
I read this and just didn't know what to say, LL2 ... so I said a prayer.
Words are so weak in the case of losing someone who we love. I can tell you to hang in there or to be as strong as you can but it doesn't help much. Those are things that we do without encouragement. What I can say is that you will not be alone in spirit we will help as much as we can. I cannot imagine being in your position though, losing a child or even the thought of losing one is the ultimate fear for me.
From one day to the next seems a lifetime...and it is. Thinking of you all with a prayer for you.
Just want you to know I've been reading and praying with you all along through this roller coaster, Lunchlady. I just cannot find the words to express what I feel. Hope and blessings your way. ♥
We pray for you each day.... you and your son are in our minds and hearts
Oh dear, Ll2....your son!
May miracles occur.
I am honored you are sharing this with us...
Hanging in there is all you can do. Knowing you are thought about hopefully helps.

I'm never surprised how much support and communal prayers can help in tragic situations.
Keep praying for that miracle and we will too.
Here and holding you in my heart as are so many here.
Thinking of you.

Sending prayers your way.
We're here. Gather all the strength from us that you can...

This morning at Mass I lighted a candle for you and a candle for your son. Know that you are both in my thoughts during these hard days. Love, peace, strength and Godspeed.

It's a dark time.... but there is a window. Look toward the light, and know that we are all standing here in the dim, dim light with you. I am praying for a miracle and for an ease in his pain...
I can only follow Hy Julie's example..

LL2 - We're all here - we're all hugging you...
