OMC Update: "Everyone Please Help Me Pray For A Miracle"

[The Straight Story]

That's where we're at now.

I was there with her as long as I could be today. I put my hands on her chest and spent quite a bit of time visualizing and verbalizing positive repetition. I kept telling her "don't worry honey, don't be scared. Everything's gonna be ok. This is just another step in your journey and you're gonna fight this thing. You have the strength, you have the will, you have the love, your body has the capability, to start fighting this thing off. This virus has been there long enough honey. It's rented out your lungs but it's time to kick it out. Take your lungs back. They're YOUR lungs. You can fight this honey, and you'll be home huggin the kids in no time. Right here and now honey, right here and now we're gonna stop that virus dead in its tracks. It's time to take your body back. This pneumonia is gonna grow no more. You can do it honey. You have the strength and ability to do it. You'll be home before you know it. Time to kick this thing in the katoochis! (like she said in the video)" etc etc. I kept repeating stuff like that. I was talking to the virus too, telling it that it has run it's course but it's time for it to leave. That they're HER lungs and the virus isn't welcome there any more. I told it that it has no idea what's comin, and that it's days are numbered. I told it to just pack up and leave.

I did that for a while, and for a while I just rested my hands on her. Things are going to take a miracle now, folks, but why not? They've happened before, and I'm praying they happen here.

They had me in a big board room today, and her entire team of doctors were in there. They gave me the jist of the situation and how bad it is. Right now, her liver's not doing great, her kidneys ain't doin great, and her lungs can't take much more. Her saturation is only 90 and the ventilator is as high as it can go. If this thing keeps getting worse, as it has each day, then that's basically gonna be it. Her lungs can't handle getting much worse. And once her saturation drops more, there's nothing they can do but watch the inevitable circumstance of her organs beginning to fail. But hopefully it doesn't get to that.

9. Our prayers are with you and Stacey,

and your family!

[TankLV]

10. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time...

Another way to look at it if it does come to that - is maybe it's her time to move on to her next existence...

Within two years, after having a very large extended family for over forty years - grandmothers, mom and dad and uncles and aunts, etc. I lost them all except my one aunt...even my father's twin brother...

My Grandmother lived till past 102 the other one till her 90's - and we grew up in a very large extended family - so we thought we would at least have our parents with us to enjoy for a long time, too - but it was not to be.

We even had our cousins' grandparents to share - an endless round of visitations and people all over the place in different places...

Suddenly my sister and my cousins and I are THE generation of "memories" and "keepers of the flame" of what our family was like - the grandkids don't know the joys that we all had - happened with my sister's husband's side and my cousins, too - along with my partner...

Each life experience is different - just make the most of what you have NOW to share forever no matter what happens.

Blessings and joy be with you always...

Try the chorus of I Won't Back Down. It may sound silly but when I almost died from chemo treatment my husband kept singing it. It was my theme song against cancer. Tell her she's kicking those freakin virus cells asses.

We will keep praying, sending positive thoughts and lighting candles, both real and virtual.:grouphug:
