Pauline

Last night Pauline's husband, Ron, was taken to ER because he stopped breathing. He's been treated for sleep apnea for the past year or so. Last night about 8 he fell and Pauline couldn't get him up so she called a friend who called 911. When he got to the hospital they put him in ICU on a ventilator. The doctor tells her its touch and go whether he makes it or not. Tomorrow morning they will try to wean him off the ventilator. If he can't breathe on his own, then Pauline will have to decide whether or not to put him back on the ventilator.
I don't know much about sleep apnea, but Pauline said the doctor said Ron inhales but doesn't exhale...and the carbon dioxide has built up in his body.

Pauline is a wreck. Ron has been her whole life. She's not even close to her children. She says she doesn't know what she will do, both emotionally and financially, if she loses Ron. I just feel so sorry for her but all I can do is pray for them both.
