Hi @mamacita, we haven't connected for a little while. Is your husband still in ICU? How about your daughter? I'd love to hear from you and know how you are managing.

Hi, @colleenyoung, yes, it has been a long time. My husband had two surgeries for MRSA, and three for his heart. He is still in the hospital, but in a regular room. We are trying to patiently wait until the tube comes out. He cannot come home until the tubing quits draining.

My daughter spent a month at a special center for folks with traches. Now she is in a SNF in Tennessee for rehap. She has been put back on a vent. Communication is difficult for both due to the times we are in.

It has been a struggle at times. I won't lie. But faith, family, and friends help tremendously.

I hope to be able to get back on Connect very soon. I miss all of you so much.

Love and light,
Mamacita Jane
