Yesterday's chaos...

So, her husband wasn't feeling well at work...a coworker brought him
home (much to his chagrin) as they didn't think he should drive. Mr Coworker called J~ at work the second he got to her home and said "Get home NOW..." (uh, nice to meet you). She did...about 90 seconds thank God in the new job. He was sitting on the front steps just inside the door, looking just horrible...white, drained, and extremely weak. 911, ambulance ride to Milford Hosp, and he was still "responsive" and very weak, but alert. Then his heart stopped, as did his breathing, due to a diabetic complication. Shortly after barely getting his heart started again (only part of it was working, as I understand) he was LifeFlighted into Boston for better cardiac care. Mom and I were able to get into Boston in
fairly short time to await both his and her arrival .

He was stabilized and spent the night in Cardiac ICU and has since been extubated and brought out of sedation. He's clearly not "fine", but seems to be quite out of imminent danger as well, and conscious. Tired and uncomfy too tho. I'll tell ya....watching that helicopter with him in it land on the hospital was so surreal. Awful, and yet I really wanted to know that Judy saw him off on one end and we were there on the other
(like it freakin mattered one IOTA).

Anyway...everyone is spent, Judy is with him in town and things are looking up, but there's still more to know since they don't yet understand what caused the potassium and Blood sugar to soar to such dangerous levels. Really really scary. They said 2-3 minutes later, and there wouldn't have been anything to be done...an angel somewhere was watching out....no doubt.
