Friends, please talk to me
 

HI,
My best friend for the past 30 years is in ICU and stable right now.

She did out patient surgery this morning for carpel tunnel syndrome. Something went wrong when she was in the recovery room.
Her brother told me that the doctor told him she has "pulmonary edema."

Her brother told me not to go the the hospital. He will stay in touch with me.

I'm so sorry too. And I'm here too if you need to talk. I will say some
prayers also. Let us know what you need.

I appreciate you
 

Thank you. :) :) :)
She has uncontrolled diabetes. She probably was not a candidate for surgery.

I am driving the 25 minutes to the hospital to see her. The hospital person on the phone said that for ICU I can come at any time.

Mari I'm so sorry to hear about this. It sounds like a life long friendship. I hope that she pulls though this. BF :smileypray::hug::hug::hug:

Thank you.
 

Hi,

I am so glad I drove to the hospital to see her. I feel better. I prayed and rubbed her feet and legs and stomach --- and made sure not to interfere with the machines and drips. I talked to her as if she really could hear what I was saying and told her to make a full recovery. (They have her heavily sedated.)
Her brother asked me on the phone if she looked "comfortable." I said, "Yes, she looks comfortable."
What else was I going to say.

The nurse was adjusting the machines and drips and keeping track of the computer. I felt that the nurse was doing a good job. The nurse and I spoke a bit. I thanked her.

M

thanks for the update, glad that you went.

I believe she heard every word you spoke with your friend!!

I talked with my Ashley once, but my family was there and talked
to her constantly!! We believe she heard us as at different times
she did make faces and stick her tongue out at family who were talking about her. (this happened when she still had minimal brain waves)

Keep talking to & touching her!! She's still inside the shell!!
She knows you are there!!!!
