as most know jack went to er twice thur.
they treated him for impaction and had me take him home at 10:30pm a strong
friend
helped me to get him home.it was freezing
out and sam and i couldn't get him to stand up as jack collapsed in our arms.i
ran into house for my pc chair on wheels and a
blanket set jack down and
cover him .he turned grey and glassy eyed scared both of us . called
paramedics and it took 4 of them to get jack on stretcher- he was so stiff.i
refused to go back with them and called er -told them he was on way and that i
wasn't going to pick him up again. i felt mean but thought it best to make er
dr. responsible for jack
he was admitted into hospital around
midnight. our dear dr. win
was supposed to be on vacation but went
into check jack herself.
he had artial fibrilation so she tested
him for heart trouble -all tested fine and she said it was likely due to stress
from his being given too strong a laxitive. dr to play safe gave him diogen and
kept him under observation till sat. his blood pressure peaked once without
heart med so dr. wouldn't release him till sunday. she even again saw him after
church and explained that he could come home with med for heart to be safe
ans not have him worried till she gets back from vacation.a son-in-law brought him home and helped put him to
bed.
talk about service--mon. nurse came
tocheck him out.-tues.the occupational therapist showed up.--wed. physical
theripist arrived
also ladt came from home health
mon.-wed.-fri. for 4 hrs. each day
it was grand hotel with all comings and
goings.
11:30 wed. nite our power
went out and with 2 feet snow we were out 40+ hrs. our house temp at warmest
spot was 60 deg. and you can imagine me going around with flashlight trying to
take care of wet bedding ans diapers plus feeding dear guy. 3:30 am jack said to
build fire and so got about 2 hrs sleep 2 nites. no complaints from me tho
because of all the wonderful help.
i am grateful for so many
blessings just wished to tell you even in a cabin in mts. life is never dull for
me.
love
