Popular Post Parr8hed Posted August 9, 2014 Popular Post Share #1 Posted August 9, 2014 My little friend is walking to a room out of the ICU. She is walking and she's not attached to any ventricular support devices! I was seriously doubting if I would ever see this pic. The room may have gotten a little dusty. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parr8hed Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share #11 Posted August 10, 2014 That's great news, still as I parent I can't imagine the pain they are in. It's a big deal. She was just placed in the hospital the same time that G was going in for his surgery. She was being transferred to another facility the day G went under. God, that was hard. Hard to watch them go though that, especially while my little boy was going back to the OR. They were there for 5 months. She is an ICU nurse and has now lost her job. He worked locally at a manufacturing facility. He still has his job as far as I know. I think that appox a week and a half they could come home. But I am not sure if both of them will be able to work right away? Not sure what type home care the little girl will need. It's a nightmare. But one that is trending towards having a happy ending. Can you imagine being in a city 4 hours away for 5 months, not being able to work, no friends or support network, no clear vision as to the direction you are going to go from here? For now I think that they still have their house and farm. I know that there has been a lot of money raised to help, and I know that the emergency employee assistance has paid at least one mortgage payment...But it is going to take a while to get everything caught back up and get back on their feet again from this.
