Needed prayers from our DVC friends *Update* by MIL Post # 244

[dianeschlicht]

Prayers for her quick recovery. Hearing of things like that of people in my age group always scares me, because I too have issues with viruses, and with asthma, I am always at risk for pnuemonia. Hoep the ventilator helps here recover quickly.

 

[MissyDVC]

Hugs and prayers for you.

 

[Checkers]

My thoughts and prayers go out to you all.

 

[drakethib]

Out thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.

We're still pulling for you guys, but I just wanted to share a personal experience.

Once, treatments like ventilators were considered radical, last-chance treatments. That's not true today. Today, many types of treatment once considered extreme are commonplace, and they are employed not because they are the last hope, but because they are the most beneficial treatment.

Three years ago, my cousin faced a serious medical issue. It was life-threatening, and the doctors decided that the best course of action was to induce a coma. They did, and they kept him in a coma for months while they treated him. They even transferred him to another hospital hundreds of miles away, still in the coma. He went to sleep in Florida and woke up weeks later in Minnesota.

But he not only survived, he has now fully recovered and returned to a full-time, very intense, very stressful work schedule. There is much more to this story, but I'll leave it at that.

The dramatic medical treatments are no longer "last-chance." Now, more often than not, they are "best strategy."

We just got back from hospital. My MIL is still in critical condition. There isnt much change. When they roll her or try different treatments, it causes her blood pressure to go up. But then after 10-20 mins, things settle.

I will share a funny story that happened tonight. DW and I were there in the room alone with her. They were doing a breathing treatment on her and I asked DW which tube the treatment was going through. She got up and showed me then proceeded to fix her gown. Someone came over the speaker in the room and said hello this is Roberta in a loud voice. It freaked DW out. She started looking around. Then we figured out it was the camera system that allows the doctors to view patients in real time. At least we got a chuckle out of it.

Thanks for your continued prayers, thoughts and support. It is really helping us sustain through this time.

I believe in miracles...
I believe in the power of prayer and
most importantly, the awesome power of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

I have seen many and been a part of some of His miracles.

I sure don't understand everything in this life... but I do think there is something extra special about a prayer lifted for a person that you don't even know.

I pray for great health to return to your MIL... for comfort and strength for your entire family. I pray for the doctors to have extraordinary wisdom in her treatment.

May God bless you!

Its Tuesday. Tammy went in early to spend the day at the hospital. The doctor told her he is seeing small improvement(baby steps, right) in her breathing. So he took her down to 65% on the ventilator eventually in the morning, and she was able to breathe the other 35% on her own. A step in the right direction.

Thanks for all your prayers and support. I wish we could thank each of you personally. But please know, you folks have made a difference. She still is far from out of the woods, but the woods dont look near as dark as they did a few days ago. Your prayers were heard.

When she is able, I am going to get her signed up on the DIS and let her read all these posts. She is a big reason we are on here in the 1st place since she paid for that 1st trip to WDW. That is a whole nother story. We became huge fans, and though she doesnt fully understand our passion for it, she knows she had a role in it.

Glad to hear she is doing better and we will keep her in our thoughts and prayers.

Jim.

 

[JimMIA]

That's not a small step. Any step forward is a huge victory.
