Wake up soon, Frukathka. I'll light a candle for you on my way home (and one for you too, Mandy. I can't imagine what you must be going through.)

I just got home from the hospital. Things aren’t looking very good; instead Charles has taken a turn for the worse. Earlier today while I was at work he started to have spasms and related thrashing about. His sister called me after it started. I couldn’t get off work, so I had to wait till I got off to be able to visit him.
As soon as I walked into his room, he started to have a spasm. I took his hand and tried to talk him down. Alas, it had no effect. I broke down and cried. That’s when I heard his heart monitor flat line. I couldn’t stop crying and was saying ‘Oh God, oh god’ over and over. The nurses and doctors held him down and administered defibrillation. They brought him back thank god.
He lurched forward, eyes wide open and inhaled deeply. After that he fell back down to his catatonic state. I don’t what to do. His sister has to relay to me any updates now because he’s been moved to intensive care. I’m not allowed to see him anymore.
He can’t die, he just can’t. I love him too much to lose him. I’m finding it very hard to keep my grip on reality, but I’m doing the best I can for my daughters. I may have to send them out of state to their grandparents for a while if things get any worse.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I've been thinking of the two of you daily since I first read of this. You are and still in our prayers here.

Mandy,
Just replying again to offer support that I hope things improve and as swiftly as possible. I can't begin to imagine the hell/limbo you are going through at the moment. I have a 2 year old daughter and I can't imagine how I would cope in your situation, you must be very strong to deal with what you are dealing with. Please look after yourself and your daughters and hopefully Charles will be back with you (and us) soon.
Wishing you the best,
Herremann the Wise

Oh dear, that sounds terrible.
I am not sure what to say... It is a terrible situation to be in. I guess my only advice is - try to keep up your hope, but prepare for the worst. Find a way to express your thoughts and feelings - be it to yourself, to your friends or to family. Write it down if you can't talk...
It is not easy.
