Hi Everyone,
This is the only way I can get the word out that Justin and I
each have a parent in University Hospital Intensive care units
at the moment. One in my home state, one in his.
My father had a brain aneurism 12 days ago and after brain surgery, and many long nights seems to be stable. He has a long way to go in his recovery however and is still in the Neuro ICU. We may not know for some time if he will be left with a mental deficiency from the aneurism.
Then, last night at 11 pm we were at a hotel near the hospital where my Dad is, (I haven't been home since this all started) we got a call saying that Justin's Mom was in emergency surgery from a ruptured artery. They had to replace her blood volume four times, and she is now stable, but with a long way to go. She is on a vent, but understands what is going on around her and recognizes family.
We went straight from one hospital to the airport, to another hospital and now I am out East with no idea how the hell I got here or
when this insanity will end.
This is the reason I am not answering e mail. I don't know when I'll have access to a computer in the upcoming weeks, this is the first time I've had access in nearly 2 weeks.
My thoughts are with you all and just thinking of many of you has
helped me to cope with the total insanity of nearly losing two parents
in 10 days time, in different states, with a long way to go until either of them is out of the woods.
Love to all,
Es
