From Circe herself! (xpost)
Circe wrote:
"Larry McMahan" wrote in message Posts! We want posts! When she can write (to us) then we know she is OK. How's this, Larry? Ask and ye shall receive! Seriously, thank you all for all your good thoughts, prayers, and wishes. I'm sure they helped. It was rough going there for a couple of days, but I feel well enough now that I think they may spring me once they are sure I can do all my meds at home. I'm breathing well, although my chest still hurts a bit from where they pounded on me while I was in cardiac arrest. We still really have no idea what brought on this sudden, severe attack. I went from a mild asthma attack that is no biggie to complete pulmonary arrest within about 10 minutes, so it's a little frightening to contemplate a reoccurence, but the pulmonologist seems reasonably confident that Advair (which is a combination steriod, serevent and something else that escapes me) will do the trick and knock it back to where I don't have to worry about this happening again. Basically, I'm extremely lucky that a) I called 911 when I did and b) the team that worked on me was awesome. Another 5 minutes and I probably wouldn't be writing this post, either because I'd be dead or brain-damaged. But none of that happened and, aside from a bit of chest discomfort and leaden limbs, I feel right as rain. To quote _The Princess Bride_, I was just a little bit dead! Kids were here this morning. Julian was thrilled to see Mommy (he woke when the ambulance arrived, so he knew something was really wrong), Vernon nursed like a fiend (he kept checking under my gown to be sure they were still there g), and Aurora seemed subdued but pleased to see me. So all is well. I hope to be home by tomorrow at the latest. -- Be well, Barbara (not quite dead yet!) Absolutely wonderful to see you post again! You have to send off a message to misc.kids and alt.mothers as well. They miss you too and are looking for updates. -- Brigitte aa #2145 edd #3 February 15, 2004 http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/j/joshuaandkaterina/ "Readers are plentiful; thinkers are rare." ~ Harriet Martineau |

As a nurse in ICU, I know all too well what you've just been through and how hard an ordeal it is, I can't even imagine how your kids felt! How scary that it progressed so far, and I hope the advair does wonders for you. I'm so glad you have such a strong support system.
