Other than even though we don't know each other personally, I wish there was something I could do to make all these stumbling blocks that keep dropping in her/your path go away. I know you must be feeling so beat up at this point. Will keep praying, hoping, and wishing. Be sure and keep taking good care of you and your children. You won't be any help to her if you don't take care of you as well. Hang in there... I don’t even know what to say.

I've been doing the GAC posse, but I'm tired. I'm not taking this as badly as I'd think I would. I'm not emotional about it. Just, really, that she's alive. The only time today I cried was first thing in the morning. I shouted "I LOVE YOU" many times driving by the hospital on my way home from dropping Bos off. The kinda thing that I'd see in a movie and think was dumb. I'd talk myself in circles now. I'm tired. You're right, Lynnster (do I have to say ',yeah'? Is that part of the gig?) Take care of myself. Turning of the Franz Ferdinand, going to bed. Night all. The worst hasn't happened this whole time, it wouldn't happen now. God wouldn't bring us all this way, to cripple her sweet little mind. All those worlds. Night. I know. I’ve been doing the GAC posse, but I’m tired.

I wish I could take all of this away. But trust in yourself, you can deal with this. I know you don't want to, but you will. One day at a time, one hour at a time. You can do it, and you have so many others here with you, to see you through this. As you mentioned elsewhere, there are many who go through hell all alone ... and that's the loneliest lonely there ever was. You are truly blessed. Take comfort in that, and take care of yourself.

If they've stopped, the easiest thing to do is to let the body reabsorb the clot on its own, like it would a bruise. I could have had a craniotomy or a skull bore, but chose not to (inexplicably, they left the decision up to us, two psychotherapists), and the bleed was completely gone in about 6 weeks. I took steroids for the swelling which worked very well. Except for a little bit of flakiness (that may have been there before but I prefer to blame the brain injury), I'm back to normal. I mean, what passes for normal...you know what I mean. So my hope is this is just a side thing that won't matter in the long run at all, and will seem like no big deal when you two look back on this time in 10 years.

I've started to post a comment what seems like a million times, but the words never seem to come. They aren't enough. I can't begin to express how much your words have touched my heart. I've spent some time in the ICU watching someone I love fade beneath the vent tube and a litany of medications. I've wondered if the twitching was reactionary, if the grimaces were cries for help, if her hand was really squeezing mine. I've loved and hated the nursing staff. I've taken comfort in the numbers. I've whispered in a silent ear and been so bold as to grant permission for her to pass on. Tessa is right. Don't settle for the first diagnosis. Get a 2nd opinion if you don't like what you hear. Get a third if you don't like that one. Don't feel like you owe it to the good nurses to not insist on better treatment from the grumpy ones. This is not a diner and they are not waitresses - they can't spit in your soup if you send it back. Regardless of your deity, or lack there of, you must believe in miracles and know that You can make them happen. My thoughts, prayers, wishes and dreams are with your family.

I know several people that were in extremely dire circumstances that made full recovers with no after effects. BJ is getting better (slowy, but steadily), she will come home, and she will be who she is. Long journey's start with small first steps. No reason to think we know the entire path, and even the complete destination, when the journey has just begun. As you know by know, but I will say it again, we are and will be praying until BJ is home and back to living a normal life. As the old song says "The God of the mountain is the God of the valley". Bottom line we are going to pray for BJ, you, your kids, your family, your friends, and your situation until it is over. We will praise God for the great things that have occurred and we will asking Him why about the bad always knowing that He knows why and we never will.

Strangely enough, I just finished learning about the central nervous system in one of my classes. The thing to take heart from is that the brain contains a lot of redundancy and we know relatively little about how the darn thing works.

Grandpa and my Mom guessed a kidney infection back on Sunday. Treating the symptoms tends to keep doctors busy enough that they don’t have time to ponder the cause.

I was an ICU nurse for probably 15 years or so before I left the world of shift work for normal business hours. I hope I was one of the good ones. I know I shared in some pretty wonderful times and some pretty awful ones, but you do a wonderful job of making it clear how these other people influence your experience in both a positive and negative way. The moment hasn't come, and I'll keep on praying that the moment everyone on this site WANTS to happen will happen soon. Wake up and become healthy, BJ.

Your devotion and support have rendered me speechless. This post in particular...wow. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you get some answers (good ones), soon.

You guys are so in my prayers, all the time. My husband and I are both praying for you and for GAC through all of this. We pray that she will come back to you...100% back to you. You are right - she is young, she is strong, she can do this. Take care of yourself so you can take care of her. Peace. AT, I’m checking in for the first time today.
