As the cardiac monitor beeps
And its line pulsates through the night
Who's to say how long it will keep
As our marriage hangs on to dear life

The ventilator has total control
And each breath is not ours anymore
As we've given up hope through it all
And let fate itself take its own course.

What now if that line becomes still?
Should we torment ourselves with more pain?
As 360 joules surge through our nerves
Is this life-saving effort in vain?

Each compression indeed we'll endure
As more drugs are pushed in our lines
Still our hearts remain still and unsure
Pure exhaustion is felt at this time

I can feel that the end is quite near
For some things are just not meant to be
As the sound of our last breath is heard...
May the peace in our hearts set us free.

It sounds like the end is quite near for your M. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />

I am sorry to hear that but glad to hear your anti-d's are working. You have kids right? How are they handling this?

Things are OK for me. Work has been really, really busy! That is good because it keeps my mind off my Dv. I have heard nothing from my W since getting the papers, I don't know what is happening right now.

Still swamped, so I gotta run, I'll check back later. If you want I could give you my email, that way I don't have to check here all the time.

ST,
You're right, things are reaching the end. H is not dealing with it like a mature adult. He doesn't come home some days. The 4 kids are dealing with it well, the 4th one is his the other 3 are not. He never bonded with them so they feel "indifferent" about him. I'd like to get your e-mail. I wasn't sure if we were allowed to do that. Sounds like you're up in gear getting back on your toes.That's a very good sign! (-:

SS, my email is stilltrying@tcq.net

Feel free to email me at anytime! It has been 2 weeks since I responded to her papers and I have heard nothing! She was in such a rush before, why is she stalling?

Uugh!
