My Christmas Miracle...

Dec 21, 2009

It's been a while since I've blogged. Things have been really crazy for me. I had my surgery on Nov.23rd. My partner took such good good care of me. The day after my surgery she found out she had to have another hand surgery. The 3rd one this year. Her bones were just not healing together. This meant that we would both be "down". I jokingly said to her..."Can I not have my 6 weeks?". So 2 1/2 weeks after my surgery we took her in for hers. I waited and waited by my self and finally they told me the Dr. would be out to talk to me. He came out only to tell me that she had an acute asthma attack on the table...they had to do CPR and that she isn't stable enough yet to even move to the ICU. My world began to crumble. When they finally got her to the ICU they told me that her kidneys were failing and that they were starting dialysis and that she was on a ventilator and that she may not wake up. How could this happen??? This was supposed to be an out patient procedure. She looked so swollen and lifeless.

I stayed with her day and most nights. Helped the nurses as much as I could. The second day, My Baby, woke up!!! She looked at me and knew who I was.  She squeezed my hand...wiggled her toes. It was the best feeling I've ever had in my life! I told her, I'd take her however she came out. In a wheelchair...diabetic...unable to care for herself. I didn't care. All that mattered is that she was alive.

So, to make a very long story short, she is supposed to come home tomorrow. FULLY RECOVERED!!!! Thank you GOD! She was in ICU for 6 days on a ventilator. She is having a little problem walking but it's getting better everyday. I feel so lucky. I feel so blessed!

I haven't really taken care of myself the way I should, which I'm sure everyone can understand. But, I'm doing better now. Ready to get on with our lives and recoveries. Thank you to all of you that have asked about me. God is good! And I've received the best gift ever...My Christmas Miracle!!!
