My most memorable moment of 2005 is when I saw my wife lying in the ICU of MaDocs, near death, and the doctors ramming a tube down her throat to attach her to a ventilator. I will never forget that scene, ever.

[empy]

i'm sorry you guys have to go through that...i went through similar ordeal with both my mom and wife, helpless talagang feeling nyan, pray na lang magawa. i'm glad you both went through it okay, as it was with my mom and wife. i tell ya, i developed new found respect for women, amazing strenght and perseverance.

FXT,

I'm never a religous person nor am I prayerful, but during those period I prayed the rosary a lot and I believe, that those prayers help my wife pass that ordeal.

When my wife was out of the ICU, the first thing she asked me was who's that person always standing right beside her, malapit daw sa uluhan ng kama niya, right next to the ventilator. Sabi ko walang tao dun kasi wall na yun di na kasya tumayo ang tao dun sa space na yun.

But she insisted there's always someone there on that part of the room, but when I asked her what the person looked like, my wife said she can't see the face, but the person was always wearing white.

Eerie....

Mods, sorry kung OT.
