Thank god I have my HUG!

Janet called me about 1 1/2 hours ago to tell me that he DF has passed away.
He's been basically brain dead since yesterday so it was a blessing. She's not
sure just when the funeral will be but it will be first part of next week.
Now for the REALLY bad part and the reason I need my HUG. I got a panicked
call from DD about an hour ago. She had just gotten home from work and found
Steven, her DH, collapsed on the hallway floor. She phoned the paramedics and
they were taking him to hospital. I talked to her for just a bit a few minutes
ago and the preliminary diagnosis is that Steven is suffering some sort of
bleeding in his brain OR he's had a stroke. He was lucid and able to talk when
DD got home so that's a positive but I am worried and scared to death and wish
I was there. Dh being in Japan doesn't help at all either.
I'm sick and alone and NOT happy. I have friends who will stay up and be
with me if I need but it's NOT the same as having DH herer or being with DD
when she needs me most. Nedless to say, I want prayers, good vibes, etc. for
my very, very DSonIL and DD. I'll manage but THEY need all the goodness they
can get. No more beating around the bush and being polite, this year has been
plain ****TY to say the least. CiaoMeow ^;;^

Please wrap yourself in "your" Hug and know that our prayers and thoughts
are on their way to you.

Linda

The purpose of the hug is to remind you that others
care. I hope it helps you now. You're in our thoughts.

I have just spoken with DD. Steven has suffered a brain aneurism. The
Paramedics took him to the Mayo Hospital Emergency and they did a CT scan.
They are not well qualified to deal with this type of emergency so Steven was
Life Flighted to Barrow Neurological Clinic -- a VERY fine hospital with a
world renowned reputation -- THANK Heaven for small favours.
Steven knew who DD was and was coherent -- all very good signs with this
type of "illness". He was a bit confused at the emergency and thought he was
still at home. He had lost the feeling on one side of his body but could move
that part when asked to -- also a good sign. I am sure that the basic
procedure will be to get rid of the blood that is building up in his brain and
to fix the aneurism. Hopefully he will suffer minimal damage that can be
reduced with adequate physical therapy.
DD has said that I should stay home for now until she finds out how Steven
is. I am agreeing but think I might just go anyway. Her in-laws are on their
way to Phoenix -- they live in the mtns. up near Flagstaff. DD is taking the
baby to the sitters where she will stay the night. After she drops the baby
off, she will be going to the hospital to find out how Steven is doing. DAMN
-- I am ready to cry but don't want to while I am alone. I could go over to my
friend's house but I want to stay home with my babiee. I also don't want to be
far from the phone even tho' I would have my cell with me.

Bless your heart Mary,

I am praying for the best for you DSIL and the rest of your family.
Please ask for (and accept) help from whomever can be there for
you. You deserve to have someone to lean on during this.

You are in my thoughts,
Janet of Gar

Ok, spat at me if you will but that's your third thing. No more bad will
happen to you for many many years. And I am sending the strongest
prayers I can for DSIL to make a full recovery. So sorry all this stuff
is going on. Hold that hug tight and maybe grab some chocolate.
Take Care
