Nothing to be said, except these are the times we call on our reserves to get us through. Not only do you have responsibilities, but you have to see your husband in such distress.

My brother had Alzheimer's and just passed at 81. Another brother is going through the hospital nightmare you describe. He fell a couple of months ago, apparently from a stroke, and has not been out of the hospital since--except for one afternoon when rehab rushed him back.

I guess we spend all those years developing character so we'd have that to fall back on when these times come.

I have prayed for your husband since your last blog. This is new for me. It's been years since I actually prayed with any consistency. But there is a lot to pray for now.

Take care of yourself, @joanstewart. I wish your husband, you, and your family peace.
