Super hard day
Today has been one of the hardest on Nathan. He's had two transfusions which they thought would tank him up. So far we haven't seen anything to indicate it has helped much.
They took him down to ultrasound his legs to check for blood clots which they said is negative. But when he got back his heart was racing and he was having a lot of trouble breathing. They took another chest X-ray and are going to do a cat scan of his lungs and belly to make sure there isn't something going on. They said he could end up back in ICU if his breathing doesn't improve. They sounded surprised considering this is 8 days later.
Sure is hard to see him like this. Breaks my heart.
Poor Steve and Dad have been trying to get the bike released all day. They got the okay and the muscle to help move it and now they are saying that because he doesn't have the registration they can't release it. The detective has the registration and won't release it to us because we are not the legal owners. Freaking catch 22. I don't know what they expect a person to do.
The shock is wearing off (a little anyway) and the frustration is rearing it's ugly little head.
That's all for now. Will let you know more later. Hugs to all.

Oh Bev. What a trial. I can just imagine how difficult the day has been for Nathan and all of you. But please don't despair. I know, you're thinking that's easy for me to say as I'm not the one undergoing this worst of experiences, /and/ "um, thanks for letting me know, I'll go ahead and stop having a hard time now," but it's something that can be forgotten when you are caught up in the blur of things. Don't let it get the best of you. Physical duress pulls us in, but it's the mental that pulls us under. The Forces That Be (or whomever) socked it to Nathan's body -- just don't let them get to your faith. Hang in.
In the times when you feel it faltering, know that I (among many others, of course) are here to pick up the slack. Tell Nathan that I miss him, and I toast to his speedy recovery each evening and pray for his continued strength each night.
hugs,
