IF YOU DO NOT HAVE MEDICAL DIRECTIVES AND DESIGNATED A POWER OF ATTORNEY DO IT ASAP.

Complications canceled Milana being transferred to an acute reahab place to wean her off the ventilator yesterday. The feeding tube, which was the simple surgical procedure she was admitted for became dislodged and they have been injecting meds, quarts of liquid feedings into the tube was just going into her belly. She looked at me and I knew she was in horrible pain yesterday. She wrote that she needed ice bags on her tummy, and was so terrified when a nurse came to give her more meds in the feeding tube. They knew two days ago it was having problems..So, they rushed her down for a CAT scan, saw it was not in the stomach, and today took it out.

This afternoon they loaded her with Morphine and Propofol, and said she needed to rest, so she wouldn't dislodge the trach, like she did the feeding tube. I WAS LIVID, and her sister saved me from losing it with a cocky bitch of a nurse. Milana wasn't sick until these people got ahold of her.

So, she is one tuff butch cookie, and fighting for her life. My buddy is very very sick, and there is nothing we can do, but keep defending her life from assholes.

So, lighting a candle factory is not a good thing I spose, but geeesh, i need lots of light and help for my Bud.
