My bro Donnie was basically dead for 6 1/2 hours nine days ago. He went down in Eastland Hospital and had to be heart shocked, put on a pacemaker @ 200 joules and intubated . He was care flighted to Hendricks Medical in Abilene and I was ask to call in family. The ER head floor nurse ask if I needed anything and I told her a miracle would be nice. She said she could not promise anything but I was in a good place to receive one. Donnie had no response to pain or light, basically brain dead. They determined his kidneys were failing and his potassium levels were off the charts. They started dialysis at 11:30 and at 1:30 the nurse said he was back. He squeezed her hand on command. Well nine days later he is strong enough to be moved to a rehabilitation center. That where today came into play. I have been sittin at the hospital since 11:30 today waiting on release orders. They finally came at 6:45. I hauled his butt to the rehab facility and tucked him in.. The only thing I need to do now is visit the ER and find that nurse and thank her for helping out with that miracle.........
