Guest guest Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 to Jim (and Maureen)! 12/08/01 From the archives of 2001: From: "Maureen W" Date: Sat Dec 8, 2001 10:55 am Subject: horribly brief update, sorry got 6 hours sleep, which is the most i've had all week, so i am good to go for today, promise. no time to write (although i did start an update), but jason had a rough night. he stopped breathing, so they lessened the morphine and was stable until his heart started racing later, around midnight. drugs into neck catheter (down into heart) stabilized that... we are heading over to hosp around 9am jim should be extubated today. he has to be weaned off the ventilator, which he loathes. it makes him feel as if he can't breathe (that, and the nasogastric tube). my poor guys :-((((((( i promise i will write tonight. the surgery took 12 hours, those, poor surgeons were so spent afterwards :-( thank you a million times over for your prayers and concerns, everyone. we do feel them. seeing their brother like this is especially hard on jessica and jillian. dad, too, of course, but i think i prepared them better for that. hard on me too, of course, but you all seem to be praying a lot of courage into me, for which i am grateful. surgeon says it will be touch and go (yes, he used those words) for jim for the next two weeks. more later -- gotta go ...everyone else is dressed and i am in my pj's still. i was so tired last night i put them on backwards! :-((( not easy being the wife AND the mom. love, maureen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
