Bright light in the distance..
This has been the worst week ever. And scary. Uncertain. Ridge ended up in the ER vet for three days on iv and meds. Finally he passed whatever was obstructing his intestines thankfully came loose and he pooped it out so no surgery needed. Thank.god. He's not home and resting happily <3 now the scary... Jim's surgery was canceled tues am since he woke up with a temp of 101. We treated at home with meds and water but Wednesday it was up to 102.7 and not breaking. So went to the urgent care where she listened to his chest said he had bronchitis and went home with a z pack and rest prescribed. Sooo Thursday he wakes up te bed is soaked he's hitting and shaking. Go see his surgeon who give him steroids and says to call in am . Friday morning temp was 102..clammy...and he couldn't focus and was talking nonsense. Like crazy stuff. Couldn't walk or breath okay. So call doc...says to get to ER stat ( I kept this together somehow without freaking) ER they do his oxygen and it was 77. TWO points from being put on a ventilator. So needles to say stuff started happening fast. X-ray and lab and cardiopulmonary consult..my young healthy husband has pneumonia in both his lungs. Scared.me.shitless. I've never seen him sick. His feet and hands were icy and white. They said he had oxygen deprivation that's why he was talking crazy. Thank god, Buddha, Allah, whoever it may be for making me take him in when I did as they said had i waited I'd probably have had to call 911 shortly. So it's Saturday now..we're supposed to be released Monday. He made me come home tonight to sleep bc I just laid there's last night watching him breathe. I come home every four hours to let pups out so yea in friggin exhausted BUT my Jim tidy has color in his cheeks...he's not heaving to breathe....he showered without having to take a break...and he laughed. I'm happy. It's gonna take a few weeks they said for him to get back to running like his old self but I think we are on our way and I'm okay with that . I'm just ready to have my whole family under one roof and healthy. Ridge wa gone 3 days now Jim is gone 4.. I'm tired . But so thankful. To god to doctors to nurses...even myself. Lets carry on..I've got this <3
