Time 12:33AM another update on Jim!

[Guest guest]

Hi, I just got off the phone with the nurse and another test came through and

Jim's right lung is collapsed, it showed in the X-Ray. This is it folks, we are

on the roller coaster on the big drop down with an upside down twist. I knew

this day was coming, but only at the beginning of April things were still rosey

with Jim home on the weekends. I didn't see this coming at this time, but as I

say, Sherry prepared the way for me to check out the Phases and although I went

into mild shock that Jim was in Phase IV already, I wouldn't have been prepared

for these sudden symptoms had I not seen where he was.

So, all tests came back showing in every test there was a problem. If Jim hadn't

been combative with the CNAs and the doctor wanting to up Jim's dosage of

medication to knock him out, instead of test, I wouldn't have known all this.

I now have to inform Jim's kids of all the details. This is the hour when " Poop "

hits the fan. They have dropped in so very few times to see their dad, that now

I will probably hear the whinning and it won't go over well with me. Jim has

been so very strong. He is my Hero! I am so sad, my heart is breaking. I will

get through it with everyone's support. You all are so wonderful. You are for

sure considered family. I don't know what I would have done without this board.

I would have been driven into insanity and in a psych ward somewhere, while Jim

sat at home happy as a clam to do as he pleased. Hahahahahaha

Ok, I'm going to go have a good cry now and release some of this stress and

sadness and I'll be all right tomorrow.

Until then.......................Hugs to all!  

Jan

Jan,

I am so sorry to hear all that is going on. I do give you my support to go

through whatever is next for you and Jim.

It has been a long battle and you have been up for it all the way. I wish we

could actually be there for you and give you big hugs. But know I am sending

up good thoughts to the Universe for you and Jim.

I do hope the " kids " manage with a bit of sense this time.

Hugs,
