My wife

Just to update, I have not said much But we have started to make arrangements and calling Hospice back in. She has been moved 5 time now back and fourth from the nursing home to the hosp. She is in Hosp now. They have made me the health care proxy as she is not with it. She is so thin and friel that they say if the have to try they are going to hurt her,So I have put the DNR in order today.
She was raching out today, I asked what you reaching for? she says the door, why?? "I am going out" were? I am going with my sister Karen ( she died the week before xmas) as I sat in tears I said its ok to go! She said open the door for me, I said you have to do it your self. She tryed for about 20 min then stoppe
So if I disappear for a bit you will know why, my kids (my son mostly) are taking it very hard!!!! He wants her to stay long enough to see his new son which is due in 2 weeks, Have no idea if its going to happen?? Ok I am crying now talk soon

My heart goes out to you. I can't imagine what it's like to have your partner ask that question of you, but having watched my mother hold on for days until we could reach out to my brother and put the phone to her ear, sometimes it's that one little thing on her to do list before she is ready that will keep her hanging on. Its so hard to watch any loved one go through this, eat well and get some rest when you can, you have all of our support of course.

Sorry to hear this Joe, our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
Do you best to be strong.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Thoughts and prays for you and your family. The thing that I was glad I did was to bring all my wife's and my family in for closure. There were many magical moments right to the end.

Hey Joe, I don't know you but wish to let you know that there is another person out there that has kind thoughts for you and your wife. I agree totally with Sea Dangles, let her see you smile and remind her that you you will are and will always be together. Make her laugh....

Ok today was a hell of a day!! As a family my kids have broken down and emoations ran wild! Things were said that should have never been said, But in the end we all hugged and went are way.
Doc came in and said that the seatives have been off since yesterday, she is still hooked up to the machines but they are turned off, and she is maintaing her B/P, and breating on her own! But she will not wake up?? and she needs to be awake to pull the tube so she can cough all the crap out. Tomorrow will be 72 hours and she should be awake? they say they see this in mostly older people but she is young. Might be all the brain damage from all the low blood sugars??But the tube will come out tomorrow and if all goes well great! If not the we go into comfort mode which is a morphine drip, and then she won't feel anything and will go to sleep and the pass in her sleep.
So there is another hard day coming tomorrow!! after missing dialysis I have to go tomorrow, even her doctor yelled at me for not going yesterday. So I will go and then drive there so they can do wht needs to be done, my daughter will come down and get me in a wheelchair cause I dont feel well after my treatment never mind mussing a day then going I am sure 8I will be wiped.

Thank You all for your thoughts and prays!!!!!!!!!!!Please contuniue!!
Joe

T & P. Wow, Just had to respond. Usually I just think about it and send them without adding to the thread but this was just too much. Just don't know what else to say.
