Wow, I am not sure if it's the longest 19 days or the shortest 19 days I've ever experienced. It seems like yesterday I was in the waiting room for the 9 eternal hours waiting for the familiar face of Doctor Mahanty. Every day that has gone by since seems to linger for longer than usual, some moments I spent wishing they would end and other moments pleading that they last forever.
One of Ron's RN's (Bill) stood by me with tears in my eyes watching Ron slip in and out of consciousness and confusion... Bill stood stoic reassuring me that the rare good moments would begin to out weigh the bad until the good overcomes the bad completely. I desperately needed to believe him. And slowly but surely he was right. With each day that passes things seem to be getting brighter and brighter. Now don't get me wrong, it's far from easy and even further from over. But Ron and I have both come very far from where we started this journey 19 days ago.
