Still sending prayers and well wishes your way. As hard as it is try to get some sleep. I will be thinking of you and dh.

I'm reading every word, too. I only it would help Davy. Maybe it does--just keeping him in all of our thoughts.

I am so sorry that your family is going through all of this right now. Try to take one minute at a time and not to think to far ahead(I know, easier said than done). Just being in the hospital will exhaust you physically and mentally, try to get some sleep. Even if you catch a nap while sitting in his room. Your family will be in my prayers.

I read your posts through too! Ramble all you want. My DH just had a very scary episode and was in the hospital. The posts to me on here were great. It helps knowing so many are praying for your loved one.

Please remember to take care of yourself. It is so important for Davy that you can think clearly and do what needs to be done. Don't worry about the ventilator. It is helping him. My BIL had one when he was extrememly sick and it is what got him through it.

I was thinking about your posts and this one a few minutes ago, and got tears in my eyes thinking about my own DH. I had given him a hug & a kiss goodbye to launch him for work, and then started working on packing DD a lunch and getting kids ready for school. He came back by for another hug & kiss while I was busy and I scolded him. He knows I'm not a morning person, but I still wish I'd kept my mouth shut. The last thing he heard from me today was fussing (but he stole the hug & kiss anyway). I gotta be more careful about fussing at people. I'll call him in a minute & tell him I love him (which he knows) and he'll think I'm a goofball.

Alley, you've reminded us that life is precious. We all take things for granted, and we should know better. Take care of yourself and post when you can. We're all as worried about YOU as we are about Davy.

Alley,
We (my kids and I) are still reading and anxious for him. As someone said before, you are "at Davy's back" and we are standing at your back, praying and wishing you well. Your first order of business is your DH, then sleep and kids and when you can get around to it we will wait patiently for an update.

Bless your heart. I know this is tough. Don't feel bad at helping the nurses get him restrained again. He probably wont' remember it. Being a young man it is tough not to fight against the tube. They feel like they are choking. Keeping them sedated is the only way. I am praying for a miracle. Nothing is impossible with the Lord and I pray he be touch by Jesus and lifted up from that bed of affliction. Lord sustain him. Let your mercy flow. I pray for peace for you and that you can find rest. I know your are running on adrenalin rush. Please don't hesitate to write as long as you won't too. Sometimes it just helps to share your feelings. Your inlaws sound sweet. I'm glad they are their. God Bless you sweetheart.

I read through too. I wish I had this site when my Father was dieing.
Davy seems to be going thru excatly what my dad did, he even got loose and tried to remove his tube. It is a reflex they told us, because you want to fight the machines.
Stay positive, Davy sounds like a fighter and has a lot to live for.
They will work on him until they know for sure he had no brain function. So that part of your worry can be on the very back burner.
Right now the vent is giving him much need rest, it is amazing how it works the body and gives it time to heal.
We also had my father on life support several time, and he fought his way back.
I believe Davy is going to do the same. Please get some rest, you are going to get sick and you don't want to do that. Davy needs you strong and so do your kids.
Post and vent all you need to, it also helps us knowing what is going on, it does help Davy, because the more people that are thinking of him, the more likely they are praying for him!
Take care,
Brenda

oh alley,
I just caught your other post about your DH and his fighting to get the tubes out. It is hard to come up with words to say that could possibly comfort you. When my step dad was in the hospital he would do the same thing. In one of his conscious moments he grabbed my had and told me " no regrets, what ever decisions you make while I am here and what ever you have to do for me no regrets. Don't second guess yourself you do what you have to at the time and you leave it at that." Never feel guilty about doing what you have to do to. If you had to help restrain him then that's what you had to do no regrets. That little conversation has helped me through so much second guessing. Just know that you love him and have his best interest and heart. I know from experience that there are really no words to comfort you right now but please know that we are all thinking and praying for you and your family. You are in are hearts and minds and we are sending all the best thoughts your way.


P.S. Doctors can say all they want but in the end the Lord makes the final decisions. He is a miracle worker and nothing is to great for him.
