[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 225385, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Century Gothic][B]I rec'd a phone call Saturday afternoon from the local hospital. At first I blew it off as a wrong number, but then I thought I best pick it up because kt was at respite. Not kt, but husband. He is in ICU, hovering between critical & guarded condition due to alcohol poisoining, & ascites & internal bleeding, not to mention cihhrosis. Not having a clue what the RN & doctors were telling me I immediately called slsh & picked her medical brain. Even though husband & I are seperated we hadn't gone through any legal loopholes so I'm legally responsible for making medical decisions on his behalf. The more information I was inudated with the more panicked I became. Sue helped calm me with information ~ I cannot make a decision with-o information. I called hospital back & gave permission for a few procedures that needed to be done. Since then I have rec'd one call after another so I decided I won't be sleeping anymore tonight after the lastest call for permission to perform another parsenthisis. He also needs to be intubated as he cannot maintain oxygen levels. I was just called a minute ago to contact relatives to make arrangements to come see him. I won't feel guilt, I do however feel a sense of loss. My husband is hanging onto his life by a thread. I'm dying inside....he chose alchohol over family & I feel such a total loss for our family. I'm humbling asking for prayers...... [/B][/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
