PMS in a Handbasket--Don't be afraid, just bring us food... Part 22

[phorsenuf]

Caro

When my FIL went to have a lung biopsy done a tumor in his lung burst causing his lungs to fill with fluid and he went into cardiac arrest. After they revived him he was on a ventilator and put in a medically induced coma because it was the only thing they could do so they could aspirate(?) his lungs. After a few days the outcome was poor. He was relying on the ventilator to breathe and the decision was to be made. They said once we took him off he would have only a few hours. So we agonizenly made the decision to remove it. Well guess what. He ended up being able to breath on his own, eventually was taken out of the coma and went on to live about another year. The Drs. were astonished. We were astonished.

So even though things may seem bleak there is always hope. So don't give up and don't let her either. I know this must be so hard for you. Its hard to see the ones we love, especially our parents in such a way. We have always seen them as our pillar of strength. But now it is our time to be that pillar for them. I will keep you and your family in my prayers and please do not hesitate to call if you need anything, even if its just to yell and scream at the world. I, and we all, are here for you.

Caro - Sending lots of good thoughts to you and your family.

Paigey - I just love the costume parades at school. Unfortunately, the elementary school doesn't do it, just the pre-k. My guys are going to be: Elvis, a skeleton and Anakin Skywalker.

- To everyone!!!! Tig, I hope you hear from your doc soon. But I concur, this weather sucks!!!!

LB - You must be so proud.

Thanks for all the good wished for Liam. It really was a great relief.

Anybody want company? I'm thinking about going to the airport and sneaking on a plane to somewhere far, far from home.

 

[Shugardrawers]

I'm never one to blow pixie dust up people's behinds. And I'm not a Dr. But even when things look really grim there is always hope. Picture it: October 8, 2002 "I'm sorry Mrs. Shug, 18 to 24 months is really the best you can hope for. The 5 year mortality rate is 100%. I've never had a patient make it longer than 4 years." What's today? Oh yeah, 2007!

An hour, a day, a month, a year. Whatever you've got make the most of it and pray for more

How cold is it there? I probably don't own enough warm clothes.

My psych office called and wants to see me Monday instead of after the trip. Great surprise, huh?

Caro, glad you all were able to see your mom. How are her spirits?

 

[paigevz]

[1Prince2Princesses]

Just a quick drive by...

If y'all have any pixie dust, good thoughts, love, light, or prayers in you, we could use some.

Tom's foot got eaten by the lawnmower this morning, and I'm heading from one hospital to the other. They couldn't stitch him up in Celebration, and he needs to go in for surgery. He's being transferred now, and I ran home to change out of my costume into more comfy hospital friendly clothes.

Oh no Aimee! Thinking about all of you.

 

[1Prince2Princesses]

Aimee, I sure hope he's alright! Where are they moving him to?

 

[tevagirl]

Hi all

Liam had his visit with the pediatric cardiologist yesterday and everything is okay. Thank God. His pulmonary area? is still prominent, but all the measurements are on the upper end of the normal range. So if something normally measures 17-22 cm, his is 22. They want to see him again in 6 months, but for now, there aren't any leaks, holes, etc.

Yay Liam!!

Caro, hang in there.

LB, you have every right to brag!! Congratulations to your dd!

Good.
