stubbornness kills – thoughts on my neighbor's death
I learned something today –
stubbornness kills.
One of my neighbors died today.
She was totally dehydrated, wouldn’t eat or drink.
When the ambulance came for her the day before,
because she had passed out,
she still didn’t want to go to the hospital.
And now she’s dead.
It’s 1 AM, and it’s just me, thinking.
Remembering.
If I ever needed to know anything about the
comings and goings on my block,
she would be the one to ask.
Not that I ever asked.
Stubbornness kills.
How much of being the standup guy
who plays hurt and keeps on going
is just stubbornness as virtue?
Like I said before, it’s 1 AM and it’s just me here.
Emily update: "guardedly hopeful"
The latest from the Pray for Emily Facebook Group -
now at 1,624 members strong!
NEW UPDATE!!!
The results of Emily’s brain scans are in
and the doctors said that the results are “guardedly hopeful”.They said that a normal person would score
somewhere between 8-12 and Emily scored a 6.This seems low, but there is room for improvement
and this is not her final score.So again, she is not out of the woods yet
but the doctors seem optimistic that
she could move up her score
and possibly recover or at least improve.Emily has always been a fighter.
I have never known her to give up,
so lets keep praying that she stays strong
and continues to fight. – Wednesday June 18 (4:00pm)*also, as of today they are starting
to wean her off of the ventilator,
today it was put on a much lower setting,
her breathing looks much more peaceful
