An Ol' Broad's Ramblings

Update!

First, I want to thank everyone for their prayers!  You have no idea how much it means to know there are still people out there who care about others, as individuals, instead of a “collective”.  :?   Ok, no politics.  :P

Shortly after I arrived back from church this evening (yes, I needed to go, and yes, it most definitely helped!), the Mr called, letting me know he arrived safely in Jackson, and wants to take another helicopter ride, but under different circumstances.  He said it was really cool, and over too quick.  Men.  *shakes head*

He told me that, upon arrival, they immediately stuck a big needle in his neck for the meds that will bombard the clot. IF this works, he should only be in ICU a day or two. If it doesn’t….I have no idea what the next step will be. The doctor at Hardin County said something about surgery, but honestly, it’s all a bit of a blur. I will learn more tomorrow.

It has taken several hours for me to realize just how serious this really is. I knew, and know, but the realization that if he had just gone to the doctor, instead of the ER, they may not have found the clot. I may have lost him, and I’m just not ready for that!

To clarify for my daughter, the BRAT, it’s IN, not ON, his lung. I mistyped. Sue me!

    This might be wrong, but the helicopter ride bit made me laugh out loud.  That’s the attitude!
    Prayers for you guys, and the hospital staff!
