Hi Guys,
I'm sure you are all wondering where I have been. I had a bunch of polishes I wanted to swatch for Halloween....
I am here to tell you I am still here, but I had a terrible incident occur Tuesday evening. My Significant Other, Kelly, had a massive Heart Attack Tuesday of this past week. He was air lifted from our home in efforts to save his life. He was revived 3 times prior to being air lifted, and I was sure that was the last night I would see him alive. His life was hanging on a thread. Thanks to my local EMT's, Air Vac team, and Doctors and Nurses they saved his life. He had a 100% blockage on his right main artery and 95% blockage on his left main artery. The Doctor said it was miracle he was alive. He basically fought hard to stay alive.
After many uncertain hours, many sleepless nights, and many countless hours spending praying for his life, God was good and did not take him from me, it just wasn't his time. I feel very blessed that he remains in our lives.
We returned home from the hospital. Kelly is doing really good, but we have a long way to go for full recovery. I have to be his full-time nurse for a bit. We will be involved in a Cardio Rehabilitation Program for the next 12 weeks for 3 days a week, in addition to countless hours of Cardiologist appointments.
I had posted this on Facebook, and I want to thank all of you that sent out Prayers and good wishes. Keep praying as Kelly has a long recovery. I hope you guys understand that here and my Facebook have to go silent for awhile. I will be here when I can :) Thanks guys!!!!

My thoughts are with you and Kelly! May he have a speedy recovery. Stay strong!
ReplyDeleteSending prayers your way for an easy and speedy recovery! SO happy to hear he's ok tho we will miss you but we'll all still be here for you when you get back! <3
ReplyDeleteYou and Kelly are in my prayers! He sounds tough, you guys will get through this! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThis just about make me cry. How completely terrifying for you both! I will continue to keep you both in my prayers. Make sure to take care of yourself also. Caretakers can experience great fatigue.
ReplyDeleteHang in there. I do believe you've earned yourself some new bottles of polish too! ((HUGS)) and lots of prayers!
Good prayers and speedy recovering vibes are being sent your's and Kelly's way :)
ReplyDeleteSending lots of prayers to him and you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a scary thing to have to go through! Thoughts are with you and hoping for a speedy recovery! Don't forget to tell those you love how much they mean to you, you just never know!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Theresa, make sure you take care of yourself as well!
XO
Oh my gosh! I'm glad Kelly is doing better! Hoping for a speedy recover! How scary:(
ReplyDeleteOh man, I wish you lots of strength over the next few weeks. I had to play full time nurse to my husband a year and a half ago after a terrible fall where he was lucky to be alive. It was hard. Just remember to accept help that is offered because it wears you down so quickly.
ReplyDeleteHope Kelly gets to feel better soon, sending prayers your way :) hugs*
ReplyDeletePraying for you both, that must have been so scary! Glad he's okay!!! Take care <3
ReplyDeleteI hope he makes a complete recovery asap. He is lucky to have you to help him with that!
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine the terror you went through. I wish your husband a full recovery and please don't burn yourself out either. You guys are in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you both. You don't need to think about the blog, just help him get through it. Sending best wishes xxx
ReplyDeleteKeeping you in my prayers and thoughts and hope Kelly recovers well. Take care of yourself too!
ReplyDeleteHugs*
My prayers are with you during this time.
ReplyDeleteSending prayers for a speedy recovery!! Take care of him and yourself!!
ReplyDeleteStill praying for you all! I posted on FB under Courtney...My hubs and I went thought a lot of this (he was 48 when it happened). Frightening, I know. Life will not be the same ever, but ours got better. It took 6 months, but life is good- we appreciate everything more and talk more-realizing what we almost lost. God Bless you-have faith.
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog today and hate to hear this news about your dear Kelly. I will keep you both in my prayers. As Theresa above said, please don't forget to take time for yourself, as caregivers tend to overlook themselves a lot in the chaos of caring for the person who is ill/recovering from an illness/surgery/etc. Your blog and all of us will be here waiting for you when you are able to return. Best wishes to you both!
ReplyDeleteGod bless you both and I wish you peace through what is sure to be a long road! Praying for you both!
