First let me thank each and every one for the prayers and well wishes. The only reason I can log on today and type this is the good lord wanted me to still be here on earth a while longer. I ask him every day to let me know why I am still here and what I need to do for according to all he Doctors I have talked with, the only reason I am still here can only be explained as a miracle. After hearing about what I went through and am still here I have to agree with them
Bad night of diabetes management with bad stomach virus I apparently got food down but not insulin at some point which drove blood sugars to over 1000. Basically a diabetic coma on the end that very few survive. Last thing I remember is calling a co-worker on Friday night that I would not make our planned hunt Saturday. I was found on a wellness check on 12-19 unresponsive in my house from a wellness check from work by the local Police. My blood sugar was like I said over 1K and sever hypothermia at 84.5 degree temperature. Spent from the 19th to the 29th in intubation with the tubes removed on the 29th. Very early in the morning on 12/30 (my birthday) I coded from a heart attack, 2+ minutes of CPR and a shock got the ticker going again. Another couple days of intubation and several more days in ICU. After all that the Kidneys were not working so was told expect dialysis the rest of my life. I am not candidate for stents so when I am deamed strong enough will be looking at double or triple bypass surgery. Currently in rehab learning how to walk again among other things and working on strength building. It is amazing how much one can loose in 3 weeks or so of no movement.
So basically doing much better but still a long way to go.
Thank you all for your support and please keep me in your prayers,
