I tried to sleep some thats not working so great. We talked several times a day. When I would wake at night I would text or call him. He was a stay up late kinda guy. Eddie for him was usually around 3:30 a.m.

(6,542 posts)for healing for Johnnyringo and strength and comfort for you. Be sure to take care of yourself. You can't be of help to him if you are not taking care of yourself first.

(11,460 posts)Im just so scared that its consuming me. I dont know what to do.

(6,542 posts)Having a loved one seriously ill is very stressful. Your fear is normal, but it does not help you to take care of yourself and him. It is hard not having control in these circumstances, that is why calming yourself, making a plan of things you can do, and then carrying out your plan is important. I am serious when I say that you need to take care of you first, so you can than take care of him. There are many people here who care and are there for you and for Johnny. Start calming your fears by accepting and concentrating on the love, thoughts, and prayers being sent to you. Remember there are others that care about you both. When I was in a place similar to where you are now, I could not think of anything to "take care of myself". A friend told me that making a list to focus myself on things I needed to do was a good start, and if all else failed, bake cookies. Baking cookies brought some everyday sanity back into my life, as did the list of chores I needed to continue to do to keep my body and soul together. Find someone you can talk to: a friend, a relative, a doctor, a pastor, etc. Share your fear with them, and ask them for advice if you want to. Stay open to the help that is offered. Blessings are being sent by myself and others, but most of us cannot be there in person with you. Think of someone who can be with you in person. Please update us on things as often as you want. Take care!

(11,460 posts)I will try my best. He was the one I always talked to because he was consent and dependable. Like I said if he was watching Rachael I could bet my phone would ring and he would be telling me things I was not sure about.
I really dont have a lot of girlfriends these days the ones I had all moved away long ago. So I will have to go to a different plan. I will have to depend on my D.U. Family. Hes the one who first introduced me some 15 years ago.

(2,208 posts)What a wonderful friend JohnnyRingo has in you. Even if hes sedated he will feel your love and your presence. The ventilator will give his body and his lungs a chance to rest and heal. It will do the work so he can get stronger. Im sending SO many good vibes to JohnnyR and a big (((HUG))) to you. If we cant be with you two in person we are sure with you in spirit.

(41,930 posts)I happen to be married to a guy who is active, does all the right things, is a wonderful man who helps everybody and has had a lousy heart problem for the last 25 years. Ive spent a bunch of time at his bedside. But unless theres an underlying problem I dont know about johnnyringo can get beyond this. I know.
Hang in. We cant make it go away but we can let you both know we really do care.

(9,660 posts)When you feel as if you have no control over the situation. Be his advocate, ask the nurses and doctorsevery silly question you have, write the answers down. When I was in hospital my wife did that to keep her a little sane and for knowledge. Some doctors answer questions as if we go through this everyday. When they see you writing stuff down they usually become more understandable, they tend to explain more.
Prayers to both of you.
