Re: NEW THREAD FOR LOVED ONES LEFT BEHIND ONGOING

Tmrw at 1:11 pm will be the 3 month mark that Tracie left this world in my arms. She looked at me a week before when we both accepted that there was nothing either of us could do to save her. She saw in my eyes and without saying or asking but just realizing, she blurted out that I was not going to ...

Re: tracie has left us

my friends i asked Tracie to help me through today during her memorial service. She came through as she always does. It was beautiful with our friends there. We held together and made it through the service the best we could. Our friends came to our home and spent time with us. We are lucky to have ...

Re: HAI stopped. Wish it was better news

so many of my friends here have given me support, knowledge and comfort.
Tracie is here in our bedroom but unresponsive. nurse just told me it could be hours or maybe a day or two but nobody can be sure.
I have no words for the pain I feel.
I am comforting her the best I can.

Re: What Adaptions for Husbands Return Home

After raising the toilet seat and adding side rails to help lift I bought a shower chair with arms. I also just got a chair just outside the shower so she can sit while I dry and dress her.

Her bilirubin has peaked at 18 and is now dropping. Unfortunately our local o...
