~Just Breathe~

Good morning guys, did you ever wake up one day and all seemed well in your world!! On Monday morning my world was colorful and bright just another day in paradise for me..And then at 12:30 pm I gave Len his lunch in front of the TV so he could watch the news and went back into the kitchen to make some fresh coffee!! Well I went back into the LR to ask him if he wanted a cup..at that point my whole world became black-n-white...
Len was slumped over with the fork still in his hand..I felted for a pulse for a heartbeat nothing..I screamed at him..nothing!! You see Len is a diabetic and has been insulin dependant for over 30 years..I have gone through many of bouts with the sugar being too high or too low..as a rule when he gets too low I can bring him around with orange juice..I ended up calling 911 and told them my husband had just died...Things happen pretty fast after that..The first 2 respondents came and then I had a LR full of fireman, EM T's..and then my grandson was standing here just trying to care for me!! As I went into a full blown panic attack..I was having a hard time answering questions. how old Len was, what meds he was taking, about his heart problems, etc. why is it when your world is upside down you just pray so hard that God will turn it right side up for you??All I can remember saying while they were here working on him was "Oh God Please "!! and thoughts running through my head..did I tell him how much I loved him that morning, does he know he is my life? what will I do without my Len  driving me crazy?? Len had slipped into a diabetic coma...After they worked on him for over half an hour I heard the most beautiful words I have ever heard..OK we have a pulse!! Thank you God once again!!

Next thing I know Len is just staring at me..He didn't know who I was or what was going on around him..they had a breathing tube down his throat and couldn't talk..They took him to hospital and there we spend the rest of the day...Needless to say it was a very scary day around my mountain top!!
My daughter Dawna is here with me now as I did fall apart big time..You see I have not shared the story about my late husband Wally and how he died right in front of me while I was giving him CPR that was almost 12 years ago...I started having panic attacks at that time..there are days went I can't even leave my home become of them..You see when Wally died I could not speak or even move for over 3 weeks, I stayed under my stairs and just slept..My Mom and Dad were both alive at that time and were here trying to help me!!
It took me over 2 years to be able to make a decision on my own as I was so use to being a team of 31 years with Wally...Then I met Len who slowly started to bring me back to life again...I didn't have to remind myself to breath each day it just became a natural thing once again to me!!

I'm overwhelmed right now with all that is going on in my life...I'm taking a blog break for awhile so I can once again learn to breathe...Please pray for my Len he is very confused right now become of being in a coma...
I love ya all..And remember to tell the ones you love each day that you love them..As the world you know can turn upside down in a heartbeat!!
Now I'm going to go take care of my real world...
Until next time from my mountain to yours,
Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria

Oh my gosh Gloria. I am so sorry, and cannot even imagine how/what you are going through.

Lord, right now I lift Gloria and Len up to you. I thank you Lord, for bringing Len back, and pray you will continue to bring him back and restore him completely. I pray for peace of mind, and your strength and grace for all.
Lord, thank you that you are with us on the mountaintop, and in the valley and that you surround us with your loving arms.
In your precious and loving name I pray. Amen.

Will be watching for updates.

blessings and His love

Precious Gloria...I am so familiar with the JUST BREATHE phrase and have lived it many times. Your situation with Len is heartbreaking, but THANK THE GOOD LORD ABOVE that is came back to you. Prayerfully with time he will regain his memory and will get back home to you. I'm so sorry about your Wally, and all that you've endured over the years from the situation in how you lost him, and you're trying your best to save him. That has to be the hardest thing in the world to endure.

I'm glad you have your family close to you now...your daughter, your grandson. Be sure to lean on them...that's what they are there for. Love you friend.

OH, Dearest Gloria! I'm so sorry! I cannot imagine how scared you must have been. Praise God the EMTs were able to bring Len around. Y'all are in my prayers right now!

I'm praying for you, Dear Gloria, that God will give you peace and hold you tightly in His loving arms and praising Him for your sweet family being near to hold you up.

Gloria said...

Oh, God!! Gloria! What a horror! But THANK GOD that He brought Len back for you! As I was reading, I got so choked up with tears in my eyes, I could only imagine how horrible it was to walk in the room and find Len like that and then have to wait so long for them to revive him. Len (and you!) will be in my thoughts and prayers. Well, you will never forget that this Easter time was surely a resurrection for your family, and the Good Lord has blessed you with giving you back your Len. Take care and I will pray...
Love,
Gloria xxoo

I'm right there in spirit, holding your hand. xoxo

Blondie's Journal said...

I am so sorry that you are going through this, Gloria. I pray Len is alright and makes a fast recovery and I hope that you take the time to get back to your self after the scare you've had. Old memories, especially traumatic ones, take a long time to go away. You have just relived something bad. Now you have to convince yourself that it is over and you are safe.

Many hugs and much love coming your way.

I will be thinking of you and praying for Lens recovery. You are not to far away from me a few hours drive..if you need anything at all please know I am here to help in anyway I can. Big Big hugs for your and Len...Elizabeth

Richard Cottrell said...

Ms. Gloria, Sometimes we are stronger than we realize. Something gave you the strength to hold up for your husband and call 911. He needs you now and you need him. Be strong. Ask the Lord to help you. Call on your family. Don't go through this alone. They say that the Lord will not give us more than we can bear and that we learn from pain. Learn from this that you can and will be a strong lady that will get your self and your wonderful husband through all this. I don't know about your real life, but I know in your Blog Life you are very much loved and we all will be doing our best and keeping you in our prayers and trying to help you keep the strength you will need.I have a good feeling this will all turn around and we will have our happy,sweet,Gloria back. Just know that you are Loved. Richard

Sue said...

Oh, my heart breaks just reading this. I know from being alone with my mom when she had her stroke just how scary it is and how long it seems to take for the 911 people to get there. I also understand panic attacks very well...I could write the book on them. So, as I read this...I'm feeling very strong sympathy pains that you had to go through such a shock. I really hope and pray that Len will be okay soon and that this won't be a setback for you.

You go take care of yourself and your hubby...we will see you when you feel better. Big hugs coming your way.

O, Gloria, my heart is pounding so hard, I hear it in my ears.
I just sent a prayer up for the both of you.
It may sound silly but when I pray for all my blogging friends, I lay my hand on my computer screen, on your photos, and say my prayer. Is that silly?
Keep us posted only when you can and want to.
DO take care of your REAL WORLD.

Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions said...

Gloria, I am praying for both you and Len! I can not even imagine how scared you were. Even scared, though, you acted quickly and probably saved his life.

Lynne (lynnesgiftsfromtheheart) said...

Hi ya cutie, it was "great" to hear from you. I'm glad things are better. I know you were scared out of your mind. I live with that fear every day and wonder how I will handle it. I pray I can handle it ok.
The office is "almost" finished. there is a picture left to hang and hopefully once I can find some plates for over the desk area, it will be complete. It was a lot of fun to do, and not that expensive which is a reallll good thing. Right in the middle of tax season I decided to start painting the house upstairs. I have 2 and 1/3 rooms left to go and that project will be completed. I've pulled a lot of things and they are in the box for next years annual estate sale. less is more for me right now. There is so much yard work to do, I don't need all the other stuff inside to take care of too. Tax season was heavy, the painting, trying to get ready for open house and taking care of Mr. P just about had me completely down, you know me the energizer bunny just keeps plugging along. I love ya girl.. miss ya tons.
hugs ~lynne~

Shari @ My Cottage of Bliss said...

Oh Gloria! It's been so long...way too long...since I have had a chance to get by to say hello and I am just heartsick over reading about Len not being well. I can not even begin to imagine the fear you must have felt. I am so glad you have such a loving family for moral support and hopefully by this time, Len is doing much better. Thinking of you...

Oh Gloria, I am so very sorry to hear of your personal crisis! My Dear Mom went into a Diabetic Coma just a couple of weeks ago and had a very near death experience too, so I can totally relate to your frantic situation with Dear Len! Thankfully Mom is out of the Hospital now and as you could see when you visited my Blog today we were able to spend a very special Mother's Day together... making it all the more special because of her miraculous recovery. My Prayer is that Len too will make a full recovery... our Prayers are with you and your Family.

Oh my goodness, Gloria! I've been away from blogging and decided to make a post about my beloved father in law and then I decided to catch up on my favorite blogs. Goodness, Gloria, I hope your hubby is doing ok now. I will definitely keep him in my prayers. You take care of yourself too, ok?
God Bless.
