Brian has been hospitalized for at least a few days, probably much longer than that. His kidneys are shutting down, and they don't quite know the cause of it yet. They're monitoring his heart to see if it's a heart issue (so far everything's coming back negative) and he's had all kinds of tests run on him in a very short amount of time. Which is good, because he'll be getting treated quickly, but bad because it means he NEEDS to be treated quickly. It's that serious. Our doctor, when Brian started to argue with him about the need to be admitted, said that if Brian doesn't go to the hospital he will very likely die. Yikes. Not something we wanted to hear.
I stayed as long as I could stomach and went to Auntie Linda's to pick up my kids and come home. They have no idea that Daddy is in the hospital, and I plan on keeping it that way! When Brian was hospitalized over a year ago for his back, Mercy was traumatized for months. So I need to protect them as much as I can. With that said, it sure makes it difficult to pop by and visit him when I have my kids with me everywhere I go!
Anyway, kids screaming, fighting, and completely unaware that Mommy is about to lose it. Will post as things happen!
oh hunny, this is serious! I will be praying hard for B and for your family. You need to find someone to watch the kids for you b/c you may want to be with B as things progress. Leave me a PM at FB (or my parents or anyone!!!) if you need ANYTHING. I'll drop things to help you out. {{{hugs}}}
ReplyDeleteoh Korinne! How scary! You have my home and cell numbers? I have a busy weekend, but PLEASE call me if you want to drop your kids off here and go visit B.
ReplyDeleteHugs!
oh wow, korinne. i am praying for you right now....for wisdom and patience as you mother your kids and for peace and consolation as you await your husband's recovery. and of course, for healing for brian.
ReplyDeleteyou must feel so scared right now, yet wanting to be strong for the kids. may i suggest, once they are asleep, pouring your heart out to God in a great big mess and just letting it all out, offering everything you are feeling to Him. i think it will be so good for you to do that, just to put it all in His hands and to release all of the pent up anxiety you must have.
i wish i lived closer so that i could take the kids off of your hands for a few hours while you visit him. hugs to you my friend, i will continue to pray whenever God brings you to my mind.
I read and have no words - except to let you know that we too are praying and will continue to. There is power in prayer - God is bigger than this!!! Sending you some virtual hugs too.
