Title: He's in the middle of one right now...
Post by TnT on Sep 3^rd, 2003, 7:36pm

And I just want to cry. I wanted to look into his pupils to see if they were different and if there was sagging eyelid. He held his eyes open as long as he could and all I saw was the terror and pain. It was horrible, brought tears to my eyes and I've seen this a hundred times. I can hear him in the shower now yelling and crying. It's so hopeless feeling. My darling sweet man in this angony.

I am sorry you have to go through this. Believe me, I know how painful it is for you knowing that there isnt anything you can do to stop his pain. :'( But you being there for him is a great help to him, I know this. My fiance', Christopher, has told me that knowing I am there, knowing that I am understanding helps him fight the beast harder, gives him a reason to fight. Just be strong for him while he is fighting .. that will give him strength.

Ooh TnT................I am soo sorry. How I wish we could take some of the pain for each other.

I hope it is over by now and he is getting some rest, and you're poor nerves are taking a break too.

You sound like a good supporter, and that's a tough job, but you know, all we can do is follow subtle signals when they're having a headache. I know when I was having them, I didn't even want to hear anyone else breath near me. But when it was all over, I felt so guilty because I knew everyone was in a state of panic wanting to do SOMETHING. Ch's look so scarey.

Thank God they don't kill, no matter how it looks like they will.

My heart goes out to you.

Hugs and Prayers
Donna

PS. have you looked at the Family Services Team page on the OUCH site, under Cluster Help?
