Today will be a good day.
I will continue not to beat myself up.
To add to that, I will not care about the nurses. I will trust that BJ’s health is trucking along without my consent. Informed decision is a great phrase, as a friend commented, but as I don’t really make any decisions (”well, I reckon I’ll take’er home today” probably wouldn’t fly).
So, those two things.
I might be talking to an insurance caseworker about the money. My insurance says that inpatient services are 100% covered. Luckily, I will be in the hospital if I find out differently, and have that cardiac arrest.
Mom was saying to me earlier that she’s a little worried about that, me being 28, probably about 30 or 40 lbs overweight (tho, as one of the charts I peeked at a few years ago while I was getting treatment for acid reflux said “He doesn’t look that fat cause he’s so tall”), with not the best diet (lot of meat/fat, not a whoooole lot of veggies/goodstuff).
Shes sweet to worry about me. I almost want to add another thing up there, that I can make this about myself today, but that might just wait for tomorrow.
CCR’s done. Time to split.
Sweet girl, sweet sweet girl, I sure do love you. I love you so much. It was good seeing you smile last night, you little critter.

This tickled me: “He doesn’t look that fat cause he’s so tall.”
There are no fat people. There are just people who are too short for their weight.
Keep up the sunny posts, AT. They become you.

Came here via Amalah on Club Mom. Just wanted to say I’m praying for you right here in Germany…
Love to you all,
Kathie

Keep up the positive attitude. My thoughts and prayers are still with you!

I am keeping your wife, your boys and you in my prayers - not that I pray much, but every little bit must help, right? What a puzzling situation - do they still have no clue on the cause of all of this? Were they able to do the CT scan yet to look for infection. It is hard to read things like this and know that any one of our family members could end up in this situation - all I can think is that I hope I can handle it as well as you seem to. You are doing a wonderful job as a daddy, husband, son-in-law, friend. Please let us know how we can help.
I’m rambling…I’m sorry.

Good question. Lemme write an update, and I’ll address the CT thing.

I’m happy to read the upbeat posts AT. Still here, still sending positive energy in the general direction of OR MMC. How was she at the 10 oclock show?

Hey AT. Good to see you so upbeat - you have reason to be for sure. How did her sessions go this morning? Any word on what the root cause of this was? Was it some form of flu or infection that was the start of all this? I hope they can pin point it. This really blows the mind to see how fast and how dangerous it was. You have good news coming in each day now it seems and I’m believing you will continue to have good news each day.
Be sure to let me know if you need anything or assistance with anything. The teams says Hi and wants to remind you that we all want to know that you will let us know if you need something ok?
You two are so blessed to have each other - so moving to the rest of us. Have a good day my friend.
Catch ya later, sandy
