In which Life continues to up the ante....

Screw discretion.

Charles was admitted to the hospital tonight with severe pneumonia, hypoxemia, and electrolyte imbalances. If I'd waited until morning to bring him into the ER, he very well might have died. And I dragged him into the ER tonight, not so much because he told me he thought he was dying, but because we have a date to see Star Trek tomorrow, and I wanted to make sure he'd be well enough to go.

Mental Note: If spouse says he thinks he's dying, take him to ER immediately.

Prayers would be welcome.

Oh, dear God. ::hugs:: Hope, you have all of mine.

Argh!

You've got all our good thoughts and prayers for both of you.

You and yours are amazing. I begin to wonder if something evil is disturbed at you becoming more proactive in your life. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I also have faith in you.

I don't FEEL anything evil at work. I do wonder if this is a "learning experience", or rather if many people whose lives intertwine closely with mine are simultaneously going through times of growth and transition just as I am. "April is the cruelest month...."

Perhaps because this crisis is so acute and personal, I actually feel that I am dealing better than I was with the previous deluge. Or maybe it was dyeing my hair red last night. ;) (It's temporary, which is good...because subtle it isn't. No way could this be mistaken for my usual strawberry blond by anyone who is not color blind!)

Thanks for the prayers, and your faith in me. It helps more than I can say.

Yeah, some variants of red are not subtle.

Lately I've been finding parallels with a lot of folks who seem to be in times of transition. Where after years of living one way, we are awakening in some way(s) to find we are discovering our worth, and capable of having what we need and even want by making some deliberate changes.

Whether you change employers or not, you are making positive changes for good for yourself and others. You know things will be different if you go; and it seems they will also change out of necessity if you stay where you are. You will be loved and valued regardless. Whether one believes in a battle of good vs evil or not, when someone like you makes forward strides and is suddenly beset from many sides it seems more than random coincidence.

You are strong, capable, and stubborn. You're a mom, and you'll get through this.

this is why - i didn't see this. oh honey, i'm sorry it was so scary but so thankful that he's a little better. *hug*

Okay, I have to laugh hysterically at this:

And I dragged him into the ER tonight, not so much because he told me he thought he was dying, but because we have a date to see Star Trek tomorrow, and I wanted to make sure he'd be well enough to go.

Spoken like a true fan!

But on a more serious note--I am very relieved that he's getting better now and is on lots of antibiotics. I will be keeping him in my prayers.

*Hugs*

Actually, the guilt over that is pretty incredible. :( But at least I brought him in. My Mom lost her first husband younger than this, and I feel I've been too cavalier; young doesn't mean immortal. Technically, I guess we're not even young anymore.


I am staying up much too late to avoid going to an empty bed. Not bright, considering what tomorrow has in store....
