Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth." Genesis 9:13
Yes, I'm tired but so excited! Full day celebrating my daughter's 32nd birthday with activities and then the marvelous news that Alex has returned from the brink of death...and is able to TALK!! THANK YOU for reading and publicizing the blog for those who want to follow the saga.
PRAISE GOD for this miraculous mix of medicine and God's care for an amazing family.
I fell asleep twice when sitting in the car today and took cat naps but I've got to settle down to some real sleep as you kindly noticed. We didn't go to the hospital today because Alex needed to rest after greeting his large family. I'm astounded.
He was working in construction around dry wall and was experiencing lung trouble for some days/weeks before his lips turned blue and his girlfriend called 911. He collapsed but the paramedics revived him. Ultimately, when nothing helped, the doctors employed the chilling technique. I think he was even lower than the 91.4 F I personally witnessed. Later alarming symptoms were days of coma, paralysis, high blood pressure (200/100) and very high CO2...Well, you know..
I'm just shaking my head at the marvels unfolding...
Michal, so good to see this almost tragedy having a good outcome. I've been "watching from the sidelines". As you say, how wonderfully miraculous his recovery has been. Wow. And again, I am educated regarding asthma and the toxins that cause episodes. -- I hope you get some good rest!
Jen, like I said above, it's educational to read this stuff regarding triggers but it must be horrific for you! It reminds me of my neice's severe peanut allergy and the idea of trying to keep her safe in the school/social environment. Very scary.
I am looking forward to reading about Anne's birthday!
Over the years I have noticed that when I have the least hope a rainbow appears. Rainbows are a wonderful combination of beauty, hope, happiness and rain, the product of ugly grey clouds that hide the beauty of the sky. The beauty that is a rainbow can only come with the presence of both rain and sun. Such is life with bipolar disorder. There are good times, there are tough times, and there are rainbows to remind us that beauty will return, sometimes fleetingly and sometimes for a long time. This blog is my story of sadness and hope. Please scroll down to "Who I Am" under Pages to read more about me and the people who populate this blog.
Please note that any patient experiences noted in this blog are heavily edited to disguise events. Similarities to real persons are coincidental.
Please also know that while I speak as a professional at times, I am not a doctor. I have strong opinions, some based on professional training and/or experience, some based on research, and some based on personal experience of my own variety of this illness. Therefore what I say is my opinion, not a fact and doctors should always be consulted.
