and I have been taking care of him since then..he went back to work for the first time today since the event that happened then....
This my reasoning for not being around much for the past few days....my life is very very busy right now, and I am just so thankful that he is ok...his left arm is temporarily paralized due to the trauma, he went in yesterday for an ER follow up, and they took some blood, and they will know for sure if this is a temporary or permanent thing with his arm....it was soo scary you all....I got there after the worst happened..he had passed out a couple times, and one of his co-workers, carried him in the ER....he had no control over his upper part of his body...they had to give him a muscle relaxer for this, and I got there shortly after that, and after about an hour, it started to wear off, and his arms started going everywhere once again...they had to give him another dose of muscle relaxer( nubaine I do believe is what it was, and it hasn't happened again since...they released him around 9:00 that night after being there since 4:00...I know that was the scariest thing I have ever seen you all...I just know i am thankful to have my husband here today..I thought I was going to lose him..but so far he is doing well since then.......just say a prayer that he continues to get better each day please?...thanks....

Wow, Kathy, I'm so glad he's OK and able to go back to work. What did they find out about his test for Diabetes? Sending prayers for a complete recovery.

Oh, no! I am so sorry to hear that he had a heatstroke, and you had to be so terrified. Sending prayers out to both of you, and lots of Board Magic! I hope both of you make it through this ok.
