I am writing because you are all family to me. I have rode with some and grieved with some. Not looking for self serving self pity.
I took my wife into the Emergency room on Saturday night because she displayed symptoms similar to what almost killed her 14 months ago. Except this time her Potassium was at critical life threatening levels and the medications she is on went toxic because her kidneys failed.
She has been in the ICU since Saturday night, problem is she has not recovered and they do not know why. Metabolic concerns have normalized yet mentally she is not there. I hit the wall (emotionally) tonight and had a bit of a melt down when I got home. I have never felt so lost and helpless and alone.
You praying people, I'll take em, those who bomb the heavens with positive energy, bring it. Over the past 7+ years I have frequented this water hole, I have no need to explain you all know the family thing is real here. I so appreciate you all.

Wow Eddy, I'm so sorry to hear Judy is in this condition.
Judie and my thoughts are with you, and that positive energy is being sent your and especially Judy's way at this very moment.

Nothing self serving or self pitying about reaching out to friends in a time of need. Not one of us can with stand these things alone. It is only right for us to bear each other up under these burdens. Please do not with hold from us any need that you have. My prayers are with you and your wife.

I know how sitting next to the hospital bed feels like, and I hope with all my heart that all will be fine.
The human body and soul is quite resilient. Sometimes, it needs a little time to recharge and go on.
