I'm going home

We don't want to leave Star alone but my buddy and I have been here since yesterday evening. She is stable and doing much better on the ventilator. All her stats have improved but we still need someone here

I need to go home
I need to see our kids
I need to let out and 24 hours of tics and outbursts I've been holding in.

So Grandma is going to stay with her while my buddy and I go home. We're going to talk to the kids and tell them everything. Then he's going to shower eat pack some comfort things for Star and him and Joel are going to stay there over night. Grandma is coming back her to be with me and the kids.

After she's here I'm going to try and release all these tics and outbursts I've been holding in. Then relax and maybe have a cigar and just process everything that has happened.

Thank you again for being kind to my family right now

You need to explain to the kids what happened to Star. Hopefully they will understand.

@Barefooter25 I did and it was horrible. They are so worried and upset. Our daughter took it hard and had a break down. I had to give her her anxiety meds. She's asleep in her bean bag chair. I'm. Staying home with them tomorrow and we'll see if we can take them to visit her. But since she's in the ICU I'm not sure what the rules are. The boys are watching a movie snuggled up with Grandma.
