I loved your story. It is admirable how you speak of your parents and the strength of character they both have. It seems to me they’ve taught you well. My husband went in the hospital 6 months ago very close to entering eternity, he was in full Respitory failure. He first lost use of his arms and hands then his diaphragm. He was intubated and that saved his life. We had to choose a tracheotomy but then he fought two pneumonia’s and an infection on the Trach (stoma), He is coming home this week and I will be his primary caregiver. It’s a lot. I pray he doesn’t make it too difficult. Blessings to all going through this new journey.
