There’s no escape for Megan at work, either. She went to work at 7 this morning, dealt with a car crash involving a 17 year old kid (he lived), to which our brother was also called in his capacity as fireman (he says you never get tired of driving the fire truck as fast as you can with all the sirens going), before heading off to a fire meeting. Meg went back to the hospital, cleaned out the ambulance, then went to check on Mom, only to find that she had been moved to Intensive Care.
Beth & I headed over right away. Megan paged Jonathan, who arrived quickly. She still has congestive heart failure and despite the medication she has been on for 5 days to wring the excess liquid out, it’s still building up in her lungs. We took it in turns to sit with her all day. They’re taking good care of her, but it’s impossible to know what will happen. It’s a waiting game now. I don’t even know what to wish for at this point, other than for her suffering to end.
