On Wedsnday night my husband called for me and when I got downstairs to him he was pale and pouring sweat, he started praying and told me he was dying, in the middle of praying he "crashed" no pulse, no breathing. My husband is a big man and although I didn't have the strength to get him to the floor I did have the strength to beat him up..LOL as I was on the phone with 911 I kept beating on his chest and I was able to bring him back, I ran upstairs to await the E.M.S. and then ran back downstairs to find he "crashed" again, again I beat on him {every wifes dream to be able to beat their husband and not get yelled at LOL} at that time the E.M.S. pulled him to the floor and continued C.P.R. we got him back, again.

Turns out he has a kidney stone so large it has caused one kidney to shut down and the swelling was so bad it cut off the use of his bladder and he went into shock as he started going septic. The V.A.Hosp was wonderful, husband is home today but we need to return to the V.A. next week for possible surgery {because stone is way to large to pass, or to "break up"}

If it wasn't for me starting back on the mestinon I never would have had the strength to do what I did that night and my husband would not be with me today, so although I was upset about starting back on mestinon, it turned out it saved my husbands life!

So I guess I am saying that, when we get things thrown at us, there is always a reason, even if at the time it doesn't feel right it winds up that there is a reason for it.

THANK YOU to all my facebook friends that sent prayers and left such kind words for me!
