[QUOTE="Andy, post: 228607, member: 5096"] I don't know the word to best describe what you are going through - nightmare and horrid don't seem to hit the right level which is so deep. You have so much being thrown at you. Has the hospital connected you with the Caring Bridge website? It is a place that you can set up a public journal to update all your friends and relatives. You usually use husband's name and let those you know tap into the website. People can also sign a guest book. Four years ago, my neighbor's husband was in critical condition and declining in health. She set up the website account. So many people she needed/wanted to keep up to date and not enough phone time to do so. After about four months, she commented that the time was so intense and so much to do each day including decisions to make that she couldn't remember everything. I printed out pages and pages of her account (journal and guest entries) and put them in a scrapbook in chronological order for her to read. It ended up with two overflowing books and took about one week to make. [/QUOTE]
