I don't ask for myself,(altho that would be nice too) I ask for my husband.. He is in ICU , has been there for 9 days.. He was admitted from the Emergency Room and sent directly to ICU. He is now on a vent .. He was admitted with renal failure..They are trying to "wean" him off of the vent...They tried this before and he "crashed" and the small amount of progress that had been made , was gone. He has so many IV pumps, and there is enough equiment for a star wars movie in his room.He is in a medically induced state, so his lungs, rest of vital organs can rest a little bit. By the way he is a stage 4 , sarcoidosis.. so breathing is so very hard for him to do even on a good day , on oxygen at the house and oxygen (portable) if we go some place.It is basically a juggling act.. I thank ya'll for listening and thanks to anyone who replys.
We kid each other about us both being stage 4 ( my is IBC)
