I am so sorry to learn that your friend is in trouble. Please keep talking to her, and being by her side. I believe too that when you are not "awake" you still feel those around you. You are a good friend to stay by her side. I know how difficult it is to have a friend that is sick. I will keep both you and her in my thoughts and prayers. This whole site, all your friends are with you too in spirit. ginnie

Just checking in to see how you are doing. I personally think, you might
feel better going to check on her. But that is up to you. Do you have
a number to call and check on her. WHen you aren't there.

I would do that too, even a hospital number that you can call to see how
she is doing. Maybe her brother can give them permission to share some
details, like if she is resting comfortably with you.

Dmom is right. Sometimes you can call the nurses station, and they can tell you how your friend is doing. Most of the nursing staff is really good about this, and they will know you care. ginnie

Hi,

Yes. I can ask the brother to allow me to get phone updates. Good idea.

When I went to her room, her brother was there. I suggested that he drive me back to my friend's place so that we could put together a list of her current meds to give to the ICU nurse to give to the doc.

He and I talked in the car. I realized that he had been feeling very alone -- it was good that he had me to talk to. The older brother is supposed to fly in Thursday night.

My friend's numbers are improving. She is going to be ok.

Mari I see what you mean. Wow. They had to use the paddles. I'm glad that she survived. I hope that she lives a long life. BF

Oh my goodness! I am so glad she's okay for now, that sounds like she's having a terrible time. I am so glad you were able to go there and be there for her brother, I am sure he appreciated that. Take care of yourself Mari, and thank you for the updates.

Mari

I think at this time you are there more for her brother than her. And I believe this is what she would want. So I believe she is very happy.

I am so glad she is going to be okay.

Donna

thank goodness she is going to be okay. what a scare. you are an angel.

I am so glad your friend is going to be OK. I can't wait until you two can catch up on things and have a cup of tea together. ginnie

Dear Mari,

i'm so sorry for what happened with your friend's surgery, and for what she is going through. also for what you have been going through. you are a true friend and have been a real trouper. i am sure she felt your energy when you visited her. i am so glad she is improving but i will still send her healing vibes and good thoughts. sending you many hugs and good thoughts too.


i am sorry i was not here for you before, when you were scared, and you really needed your friends. i am glad and relieved, that so many others were here, and that you were not alone.
