Default My absence

When I checked in yesterday saw a note above the forum saying it's been a while since I posted but I'm welcome to continue lurking.
I have been checking in but I really don't feel like joining in. In fact I really don't feel like doing much of anything anymore.

My daughter was hospitilzed last month, 11 days with 4 in ICU. She has a unknown upper respiratory infection. Drugs are barely containing it. She has a visting nurse plus with her years working at a local hospital she has doc's and nurses dropping by and checking on her constantly. My son or I spend most of the day with her, my wife spends the nights as she has basically moved in with her.

We're all tired but still hanging together. Just looking for her to get well.

Dayum Ernie!!!!

I fought an upper respiratory infection for about 2 weeks. Missed a few days of work because of it as well. Wasn't serious enough for hospitalization, but it did kick my arse really good...

Dang Ernest, keep your head up dude. i've survived cancer for 18 years now and a very similiar upper respitory episode a few years back 24 days in the hospital, surgery to remove part of my left lung and clean out an infection and 6 days in ICU after they nearly killed me with spinal block. Too stupid to die so here i am. Things have a way of perking up after they look the worst. Will say a prayer or two for a positive resolution to your daughters situation.
