T&P please (*addiction related*)

[periwinkledaydreams]

Hey all, as Ive shared recently one of my brothers has been struggling with a major relapse in his recovery/addiction. He was brought by ambulance to emergency last night because he was unresponsive and needed oxygen assist to breathe. He's been admitted into the ICU and is as of this afternoon responding but still incoherent. I stayed with my niece for the night while my SIL went to the hospital with him but she came back home so Im back home now. I'm a nervous wreck but I know he's where he needs to be, just asking for thoughts, prayers, vibes, what-have-yous for my brother and my family.
I've been trying to nap cause I got zero sleep last night, on and off here silently LTing everything today, trying to keep myself occupied and distracted until I get an update but I'm also so wretchedly exhausted and scared. Anyway thank you ladies for always being so supportive and understanding.

Thank yall so much for all the kind words and thoughts. Our older brother has been by to see him this evening and not much has changed as of yet. My dad will be keeping LO so I can go to a hearing for my comp case in the morning anyway so I'm thinking I'll go by the hospital after that and check in. Then I'm taking an afternoon nap for the whole afternoon.

Positive updates! He's been released from ICU to the regular medical floor and as of this evening is capable of carrying on some type of coherent conversation, eating food and even got up to walk. He's agreeable to entering inpatient rehab whenever he discharges, although we still don't know when that will be, this is the best case scenario at this point. This seems to be what he wants. It won't be his first rodeo but we can only look forward now... I can't thank you ladies enough for your support, and the reminders to care for myself as well. Its all too easy to lose sight of that.
