Update on my nephew - my heart is in a million pieces

amackeral's picture

After surgery, my nephew started to wake up and respond to voices, but they couldn't find where he was bleeding internally. He was bleeding out faster than they could pump blood in to him, and so my brother and sister in law had to make the hardest decisions of their lives so far.

There was just too much damage to his internal organs, the Dr suggested they take him off life support...so they did, he passed just after midnight last night/this morning.

OT- prayers needed please!

Just talked to my sister. My nephew, oldest brother's son (L), is in critical condition in the hospital.

He and my oldest nephew (T) were out playing on jet skis. L, T and some other kid were messing around, playing in each other's wakes, splashing each other. L splashed the 3rd kid and the kid lost control of his jet ski. Kid got thrown off and the jet ski hit L.

A boat that saw it happen stopped and pulled L out of the water on to their boat. He was unconscious/not breathing so they did CPR til they got back to the shore where an ambulance was just arriving.

SS20 at it again

SS20 was living in a homeless shelter after he got out of jail. He overstayed his welcome there, stayed longer than they usually let someone stay in a certain amount of time, so had to move out. Luckily/thankfully, his PO helped him get accepted in to a halfway house. He's been there 2 weeks...seems about as long as he can go without getting in trouble again.

OT - Crying wife turns DH on?!? WTF dude

I swear some men don't think before they act, are they really as clueless as they come off?

I had a very close friend pass away a week ago and I have been pretty much an emotional wreck ever since. I've known this guy since 2002 when I was pregnant with my daughter. I feel like I'm slowly going crazy- cry at the drop of a hat, still beating myself up over it a little (the what ifs/coulda/shoulda's going through my head), and haven't slept very well at all.

SS20 out of jail again, frustration with DH

Ugh, where to start. I had this mostly typed up yesterday on my tablet, then Firefox updated and I lost everything!

While SS20 was in jail, we had a nice month of peace. DH wasn't being too pissy, and we MOSTLY got along. The closer it got to the court date (last Thursday), the bitchier he became!

Well, the peace was fun while it lasted. DH and I were finally doing great, not fighting due to dumbass SS, and now the stupid fuck is back in jail.

SS20 lived in a hotel for the first 4 days he was out last time, then lived with his sister for a couple weeks. SD22's BF told DH that SS had been living with friends here and there since he left SD's apartment. Apparently SD hadn't heard from SS for a couple days so she checked the County Jail website this afternoon, and there he was again.

SS20 out of jail

DH got a notification this morning from the jail's automated system saying that SS was released. Did SS call him? Of course not!

About an hour later, BM texted DH asking if he was going to be home today, if he had SS's Walmart (paycheck) card, if we still had SS's things, and a couple other questions that only required DH to answer yes or no to. He didn't say anything about knowing SS was out yet.

Can't follow SS20s reasoning, frustration

DH has not heard from SS since Sunday night, court was Monday morning. BM told DH that she heard from SS on Tuesday morning, and SD22 has talked to SS a couple times this week. DH just found out why this morning why he hasn't heard from SS...

Apparently the letter DH wrote the judge, SS somehow interpreted that letter to be that DH was disowning him and wouldn't be helping him in any way. WTF SS, how did you get that from the letter?!?

Letter is in one of my previous blogs- http://www.steptalk.org/node/175825
