Just got off the phone with Gary, and manoman, things are getting better.
BP is 110. She’s getting off three drips, bicarb, one of the pressors, and a nutrient thing that looks like the blood of the android in Alien (we watched it together in the ER Thursday, before all this. I guess it was our last movie, so far).
HER HEART PROBLEMS ARE RESOLVED. Well, as resolved as possible now. They put her on medication today, and it made that stuff better. Real scientific, I know, but thats all I can tell you at 12:28, with Beck’s Mutations playing on this computer, and my arms straining to keep typing in a laying position.
I asked for the bad news, and he said right now there isn’t much (more of that relativity thing, as my soulmate lays in puddles of blood, yadda yadda yadda… GAC’ll accuse me of Emo when this is all over). All signs point to yes.
I wish I could congratulate her. Sometimes I think “hey, she should be here” , but not often.
Lindas taking over again tomorrow, and I say bleah. I’ll just not talk to her, and let her do what she gets paid to do.
Another day of 10, 1, 3, 5:30, and 8:30.
I’m drained. Today was the hardest one yet. Time to end this ugly day, on this piece of good news.
I LOVE YOU, BJ. I love you so much. Come back to me, sweet thing, precious girl, my angel, and I will baby you and pamper you for all of the days and nights to come.
Good night sweety. I love you.

Hang in there.. in the 70s my mom developed a strange virus that almost killed her.. no one could do anything… it just had to run its course. She got better and so can your wife. Know that people are praying for you all.. Hang in there!

May this be the start of healing for your wife. I’m not normally a prayer, but I have prayed and cried for you.

AT Dude thats good news. It is going to be a long hard climb but I know GAC can do it(from reading her posts) and I know you can do it. I’m sorry that I haven’t met you and your family yet but I will. God bless you,GAC and your family. Rest easy cause God is on patrol as always. You try to have a restful night.

Hang in there man … I can’t begin to tell you how many times I have teared up the past few days. This has been an incredible journey and I hope and pray that it has an ending that is good for all involved.

Well, this was well worth staying up late for.
Praying harder than ever now!

Kat and Newscoma gave me an indirect heads up to your situation, and of course myself being a Tennesseean, husband and father, my empathy and curiosity perked up.
I could never know how you feel, but I certainly know what it means to have your wife hanging in the balance, not knowing anything one way or another, what’s going to happen next.
I don’t have to tell you to remain strong, since I can already see that you most certainly are from your posts. You are surrounded wholly by support from family, friends and acquaintances, and though I don’t pray, you and yours are in my thoughts. However the outcome, should you need anything I can provide, just say the word. ;)

I’m late to this story but just read about your nightmare. Hopefully things will get better from now on. If there is anything I can do, please let me know.

AT,
That is very good news. I was very happy to read this, and will continue to keep you all in my thoughts and send out positive vibes your way. Also, thank you for your kind words after my last comment from your earlier post - you have enough on your plate without having to take time out to acknowledge me. I certainly wouldn’t wish your situation on anyone either, and remain hopeful that this is a first step on the road to recovery.
I am in awe of the strength and grace upon with you have carried yourself through this, carried your family through this. It says a lot about your character.
