emm said: that is fantastic honey... i have been thinking of you too
i wanted to ask if you were with him when he had the heart attack but either way i would hope that you could talk to somebody that you can just let go with. let out all that built up anxiety and tension Before you read this... REMEMBER- yesterday was yesterday and today he is fine. Doctors, nurses are very pleased! He was in my car when he had the heart attach, blocks from the ER. We arrived, he was dead. I watched him have a heart attach and die right in front of me. At that time (HE'S GREAT TODAY!!!), the last thing he heard was me freaking out- yelling his name at the top of my voice, answer me, can you here me... I was pulled up to the door, ran in and told them I needed help now. It was about 3:30am and only one family was in the ER waiting room. I ran back to the car and put my ear to Drew's mouth, he wasn't breathing. I ran back in and asked a second time. A man waiting with the family went back outside with me. I had to ask a third time, the man who went with me came back in with and told the desk the Drew's "back was arched." At that time a male nurse and a female nurse pushing a wheel chair arrived. We walked out together, when the nurses saw Drew the male nurse started giving him chest compressions (in my car, in the passangers seat) and the female nurse went to get help. She was back very quickly with about 6 or 7 others, one being Dr. Jennkins. We talked about what had happened and Drew's history. I left them to do their work while I registered Drew. Everything I signed for asked for the "relationship." I told her I didn't know what to put, she told me anything was fine- and you all know what I mean here. Once that was done they took me back to where they were working on him, gave me the scoop- heart attack, brain dead, isn't going to make it. And then I got to call all the family and friends at 4 in morning, tell them what had happened and that Drew was going to die. I spent all day yesterday spaced out, took 2 1mg Xanax and cried the most quiet tears. THANK GOD HE'S FINE! Socks still got butt like a leather seat... | |

*I'm not even worried about checking for errors so work with me!
Guys your orgNotes and messages have been so sweet and have really helped. I'm sorry if I didn't respond, it's because I'm emotional and couldn't find it in myself (at the time) to respond. He did that the last time he was up there. I just got back from seeing Drew (you can see the hospital from where we live, that's how close we are to it- Thank God!). I didn't get to see him but was told that he was the same. He's been rolling over on his side trying to get comfortable in the hospital bed. I didn't mention this earlier, but I swear he was trying to get out of the bed when I saw him this afternoon. I'm going to a friend's for dinner. Her name is Teresa and she's been Drew's friend for 20+ years (Drew has many way back friends, and I've known them going on 11 years. I'm 32 so that's way back for me too!). We're going to have a nice time and celebrate the good news. I'll be staying with my parents tonight. It was so hard being in our home yesterday/lastnight thinking he was going to die, that I told them yesterday to get the spare bed ready. Now that Drew has make great improvements, I think I'd be fine here in our home. I know I'm not going crazy but- I went to sleep lastnight at 10pm and around 3am I was awaken by what I thought was Drew. I thought I heard him walking in the hallway. It was the heater or something, I know. This afternoon I was napping and heard the front door unlock, open (it squeaks), close and the dead bolt lock. I swear I heard this- I know it wasn't Drew but I got up thinking someone was in our house. I think it was the washing machine. And I've heard his car pull into the drive way a few times. I know it was just a car passing our house that sounded like his. I came home lastnight and put away anything that reminded me of him- Valentine's cards, dolls- but how do you put away an entire house. So anyway, I got to get out of here. I'm going to go see him tomorrow morning and then I'm going to go paint (I'm off from my 9-6 until next Monday)- something to keep my mind busy (and pockets full- his last surgery wiped us out. But I'm not at all worried about it, I'll just charge it- Fuck it!). So I guess what I'm getting at is if you don't hear from me tomorrow, it's because I'm busy and will update later that night. I'll have my cell phone with me, so I'll still have internet and email access. Hey- I did a paint job last Sat- so maybe I'll post some pics to lighten things up. Drew's in good hands and doing great. Keep up the prayers- it's working! IT IS WORKING! Thanks for the phone numbers guys- should I need you I'll call. I'm cool but if you want my number and want to talk to me just ask me and I'll give you mine (I'm close to posting it here, but maybe I shouldn't do that). I love you all!
