Day 32
Deb was very tired all day today, she felt weak and walked very little. When she did walk, she got short of breath and was dizzy on occasion. While my short visit continued, I could see her "crashing" and I expect that we are now in for another dark time.
The "rash" which was barely visible when I arrived was in full blaze by the time I left. The nurses were alerted to this and they started into action with an EKG, sugar test, antibiotics were hung and a chest X-ray was ordered. Deb could not stand for a BP routine and her heart rate went to 139 just standing. Mine gets to 141 running full out on the machine. We are going to the same place we were at the last time.
Mike is staying the night tonight. I will stay the night tomorrow night and we will see where we are on Saturday night. I expect that Deb will be in bad shape for the next 3-4 days. Hopefully, we can stay out of ICU this time.
Nothing much more to say. Deb will have to tough this out again and hopefully we will do better than the last time.
Deb sends her love to all.

Aww,honey. So sorry you had such a lousy day. So glad that Mikey, the Tailgating Machine will be staying with you.
Snuggle down into that Donna Teabags slumber sac and feel the love. Prayers are a'comin your way. I've lit a candle under Delacroix's Good Samaritan and I'm sending you healing vibes.
The word of the day for Jan 6, 2006 is:
"GRACE: God's loving presence surrounds and upholds me, and all is well."
May the lord bless you and keep you in a state of grace, honey bun. Especially during these rough times.
I love you, my friend.

Deb:
The dark days make me crazy with helplessness on my part.
Tonight like every other night I will go to sleep imagining what it must be like for you day in and day out. Some days good, some days bad.
Know that we are all watching the blog every day for progress and keeping you always in our thoughts.
Love and sleep well...Cousin Eileen
Hi Debbie hope better days are coming. I am thinking of you every day.
Love,
Bee
Debbie,
SHIT! (I'll just say it , everyone is thinking it).
Hoping we wouldn't be taking this path again.
Let the love carry you through it. (A morphine drip wouldn't hurt either).
Praying it gets easier. Thinking of you, always. Love, Kim
Debbie,
My heart is breaking for you. So sorry you have to go thru this again. Our prayers are with you. I'll leave you with a saying that gets me thru tough times...
One step at a time
One day at time
One smile at a time.
Things will get better!
Love,
Pam K and Bird
My dearest Deb and Joe,
Ok! I,m just plain tired of football for now! No anologies today. :) We must remember the three most important things in this challenge God has presented to ALL OF US! ATTITUDE! ATTITUDE! ATTITUDE! I recall ups and downs when I went thru my ordeal. I also remember everyone working so hard to keep my spirits up. It meant the world to me, but today this current news report, I must admit has me wiping a lot of tears. I am somewhat at a loss for words (If you can believe that :) However, it stikes me Deb, that you and Joe have been such an inspiration to all who write every day. Your love for one another, the support of your wonderful family, your strong spirit in the face of this continuing suffering, once again reminds me that we are all Gods Children. He wants us to be examples of Hope and Faith. Support and Love one another. You allow us to be all of that and more, by your example. Thank You!! " May God Bless you and keep you, May God make his face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you, May God lift up his countenance upon you and give you Peace" (in these dark times) :) Love Artie
Dear Deb,
I'm sorry you have to go through another dark time. Just know that your friends and family will continue to try to help by sending you our love and praying for you. You, Joe, and your children are an inspiraton for all of us.
Love,
Aunt Mary Ann
