Oh, shit, Jilli. Horrible. I'm so sorry.
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Oh, shit, Jilli. And I'm sorry the ICU staff are being such asshats. I don't see why the hell she can't live there if she wants to.
So very sorry at this turn for the worse.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

What is even happening?
Jilli, I have been wanting to ask. I hope his news gets better. Holding a good thought for both of them.
Now their friends are organizing who is going to be with her at all times, who can prepare and drop off food for her on what days, and who can be the back-up people for the front-line supporters.
I feel so helpless. I'm waiting for email to tell me when/where/what I'm needed for.A woman in our church was in a horrible accident, we weren't sure she'd make it, and even once she stabilized, her condition was serious. A bunch of the women bought gift cards for her husband and daughter, for take out places that serve food-food (not fast food) and restaurants between their house and the hospital, so that they could stop for convenience, and not have to worry about the all the money spent. I don't know if that's something you could do for your friend.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
My friend has taken a turn for the worse, and they've kicked his wife out of the ICU waiting room; the doctors informed her that her hubby is going to be in the ICU for quite a while, and that she cannot live in the waiting room, no matter how much she wants to. Now their friends are organizing who is going to be with her at all times, who can prepare and drop off food for her on what days, and who can be the back-up people for the front-line supporters.
Oh, crap. I'm so angry with the universe on her behalf. I mean, is it too much to ask for it to just lay the hell off her for a while?

Well, I can kind of understand, because honestly? She'll be better off not *constantly* being there. And I'm (once again) extremely impressed with a couple of my close friends, because they've got a spreadsheet set up on a website to organize who will be with her, who is bringing food on which days, which people are 'on call' at what times. I just wish there was more I could do right now.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Much -ma for your friend, Jilli. Much much -ma. And hugs for you and his wife.

That is a very good idea, and I will check with the Organizing Duo to see if that is something that can be done.
