Please pray for her. her name is Julie.
57 year old wife has been in the hospital since July 3rd. She had to have her left below knee amputated but developed complications over a week and had to have that leg amputated above her knee.
Nurse called me as I was at work last night. She had her right arm go numb and couldn't use her fingers. A response team took her in for emergency CT and found bleeding in her brain. About 3am I was able to see her in ICU.
She recognized me and squeezed my hand with her left but couldn't talk. I asked the nurse if she was sedated at all and they said no. They told me that they would call if she needed to be sedated and intubated or if any surgery was needed. She's at Peace Health in Vancouver, WA where the COVID outbreak happened last week so although they let me in early this AM they cannot let me back in unless her situation deteriorates. She cant speak and is paralyzed on her right side. Can't swallow so she has an NG tube now. They set up a FaceTime with an iPad this afternoon so I could talk to her. She looked and me at times but couldn't respond. We have been married for 33 years.
I'm numb right now.
