I had taken him to a V.A. doctors appointment when they determined
that he had edema and he was admitted into the Army hospital next
door. He was due to be released after a couple of days but he had
an unexplained episode and they had to put him on a ventilator.
He was on it for about five days, they were going to take him off it
on Wednesday but then the doctor said he couldn’t breathe on his
own and they would remove it on Friday. I went there every day
and stayed with my Husband for several hours.
Early that Thursday morning, I got a call from his nurse, they had
taken my Husband off the ventilator and he was asking for me.
When I got there I was so happy he was conscious because we
didn’t know whether he was going to make it. My Husband and
I are very close, I have known him all my adult life.
After we talked for awhile, his voice was raspy and weak from
being intubated, he told me that he had seen and talked to God,
and that God gave him a message, he told me what it was but
he also asked me not to tell anyone else. So I hate to leave
you wondering but I must respect his wishes.
He did not remember being in a coma or what happened when
he was talking to someone and collapsed, the visitors he had
or the times when he opened his eyes during the coma.
He is very religious, it was a nice message and it made sense.
