I’ve been checking this thread regularly for an update of good news. Hang in there t-keela. Our thoughts are with you and good vibes are being sent your way. ~~~~~~~~~~~
t-keela, you and your wife are in my thoughts and prayers as well. I can see a lot of hope and love is being sent your way from the SDMB. Try to take care of yourself as best you can in this very difficult time.
I’ve only got a minute…came to see kids for f-day. Wife is stable but it has been a rollercoaster ride from hell so far. Thanks for everyone’s good wishes, they do help. You guys are tops in my opinion. I will update more asap. Thanks and much luv t/k 
Happy Father’s Day and thank you so much for thinking of us, by letting us know what’s going on with you.
We’re still keeping our fingers crossed (and sorry I threatened to kick your booty, but that’s for later 
).
Take care of you!
You’ll continue to be in my thoughts and prayers throughout this whole ordeal, t-keela. Happy father’s day; I’m sure you’re a wonderful father and husband.
I don’t usually reply to these threads because it’s so hard and I can’t imagine what I could say to make any difference.
However, your love for your wife and the honor you’ve shown her here has touched me. I do hope all turns out the way it should and the two of you can share much joy on your next Father’s Day.
Embrace, as much as you can, your time with your kids today and know that our hearts are with you and your family.
I just had a bit of a shock myself. I rang my dad to catch up with a few things as it’s fathers day (I haven’t spoken to him in ages). He let me know that the husband of one of my step-sisters died recently (it may have been today in fact. I will know more later).
I met him not so long ago at the wedding of the other step-sister. Sat next to him at the diner table. So having met him so recently it’s come as a bit of a shock to me.
I know the death of a passing aquaintance is not comparable to the situation your wife is in t-keela but this little shock of mine has brought home to me a little more how you might be feeling. Again my hopes are with your wife’s recovery.
Hoping for the best for you and your wife.
I’m hoping when you read this, your wife will be home and well on her way to a full recovery. Hold on to each other and your kids, and you’ll all be okay no matter what.
Hello dear friends, My wife passed away yesterday. She fought back six different times over the past couple of weeks. I was there beside her every second I was allowed and stayed at the hospital from start to finish. Her heart, lungs and kidneys each failed her individually on two separate occasions. Her lungs collapsed at least three times and yet she fought back to stability. Her love of life and for her family was an inspiration to many that I met at the hospital. I know there must be some who made it back from her own desire to live.
Tragically all three (heart, lungs and kidneys) failed simultaneously yesterday morning. Her strength was gone and she couldn’t be saved. I sat with her for several hours and when her heart stopped she grabbed my hand and her eyes blinked…then she was gone. It has completely broken my heart at this point. She was the love of my life and I am lost without her…
The tears I’ve shed this month have actually dehydrated me but we have two fine children that need me now so I will dig deep for all the strength I can muster up. Our daughter has MD as did Therese. My wife fought MD her whole life and I know this was much of the reason she had such a hard fight. Yet it must also have been much of the reason she could fight so well. That and the fact that we were completely in love with each other and the life we had. Still on a honeymoon after so many years together. We never spent one night apart until now. It will be a lonely night in Athens tonight, despite my wonderful family who have been here for me.
So, my dear friends…thanks for all of your love and good will. I shall return strong eventually. Therese, sweetheart…I’ll love you forever, and thankyou for loving an ignorant ass like me. I’m gonna go now but I’ll see y’all later. You too baby.
They say you’ve gotta take the bad with the good. I knew how good it was and often took it for granted (y’all don’t do this) but never imagined the hurt could be this bad. 
Let them know everyday how much they mean to you. g-night
My deepest and sincerely condolences to you and yours. I am so sorry for your loss.
I have been subscribed to this thread in the hope of hearing glad tidings. Now that I know that is not to be, I am at least relieved that your wife is free from pain and suffering. I hope your beautiful memories of her bring you comfort and strength.
Oh God, t-keela, I’m so, so sorry to hear this. My heart is breaking for you and your family. Many, many prayers and wishes to you and your children and your family for strength and peace. And a very special prayer for your wife, that she be at peace and that her stong spirit remain with you forever. I’m so sorry.
I’m so sorry.
I am so, so sorry. My prayers are with you and your children, and I hope all three of you find the strength to be there for each other.
My deepest sympathy on your loss. I too was following along. So sorry.
I’m really sorry. My prayers for you and your children.
Oh t-keela, I’m so very sorry. My sympathy to you and your family.
I’m so very sorry for your loss - I’d been thinking of all of you. I know we’ve probably never interacted, but you can surely feel free to e-mail me if you would like to.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, t-keela. I’m very sorry.
I’m so, so sorry. I can’t even imagine what you are feeling. I was hoping for a different outcome, as were you, and I’m just at a loss for what to say. Please accept my sincerest condolences. I’m going to give my husband an extra hug tonight.
