Merry F*ing Christmas...

yesterday afternoon I get a call from my Father-in-law:
one of my husband's cousins had a bad car wreck and was in ICU....in an induced coma.

He did call his aunt later. She seemed to be out of it - understandably. But I swear, if it wasn't for bad luck the woman would have non at all.

I have not heard how the tests wen they were going to do at 3AM last night...

My heart goes out to you and yours in this time of need. Stay strong, brother.

Sister...........

Deeply sorry to hear this.

Seems to be that the bad news keeps on flowing in 2012 . I hope that the injuries that required the induced coma are something that can be remedied, gran. I think your choice of words in the thread title pretty much summed up the situation very well :hugs:.

 

[granfire]

Thanks, guys.
it has been an odd year, for sure.

As of now I am assuming that no news means good news in this case.

 

[Steve]

Aw, jesus. I'm so sorry!

 

[WC_lun]

I hope that your husband's cousin's injuries aren't as severe as it sounds and wish him, and your family, a speedy recovery.

Seems like the swelling was going down in a satisfactory manner, if the trend continues they will try to wake him up out of the koma. Then we'll see.

But considering that the phone is not ringing off the hook I am considering it to be a good sign!

 

[arnisador]

That sucks. Hoping for good luck.

 

[Carol]

I am so sorry to hear this. I hope things get better!

 

[granfire]

new update is that I have not heard anything.
I am thinking that is good news, since my inlaws, especially one Sister-in-law, love to spred bad news.....


I keep thinking of the cousins in terms of young people, but hubby turned 50 this November....they are all nearly old enough to become grandparents!

Last update:

he did not make it.

After all the tests they ran, operations to reconstruct his face.....

he died of massive internal infection.
Seems like a rib or other bone punctured the intestines, by the time they found it it was too late.

Going to the funeral of an old woman (my husband's Grandmother was laid to rest on Wednesday) is not all that sad. She had lived a long time.

Now, going to see him off will be hard, a man in the prime of his life.

 

[Sukerkin]

So very sorry to hear that, Gran. I had hoped that things were going to turn out better :hugs of support:.

 

[Steve]

I'm so sorry. My condolences to you and the ret of the family.

thank you.

and of course, along with the loss, there are the mundane problems:
The family was not wealthy by financial means. Like most of us making do.

The bills will be crushing....

dear friend

this happened in my family too. the circumstances vary. the grief and sadness do not.
please know that others think about you and your kinfolks and remember you in
prayers and thoughts. I don't know if that helps you and your, but it helps me
remember how other people grieve and I hope it keeps my eyes and heart open to
whatever I can do to help. Please keep letting us know how you are doing and what is
happening, if that would be a comfort.
