Dark Day….

Dark Day….
Hey Friends and Loved Ones, today was a hard day. Trish was mostly unresponsive all day. The few times she opened her eyes, there was no discernible recognition. We met with the head ICU doctor and the Neurosurgeons, and the news we received was not good. There is additional bleeding in Trish’s brain. There is too, the evidence of a series of strokes on her CT scans. Also fluid, and her brain are pushing out of the hole in her skull, and needs to be put back. That is the main problem, dwarfing even the multiple infections. As I said in an earlier post, the surgeons have said they cannot, and will not perform any more surgeries on Trish’s brain, as all of the damage done to her brain over the last couple of months has put it in an inoperable state, and any further surgery at this point would damage her brain irreparably. The harder news is they do not feel, with the brain issues and the other health issues and infections, that Trish has either the brain or body strength to recover. We asked all the “What if/What about?” questions, but the answers were the same. Tomorrow we meet with the different medical teams together, to try and determine what is next; do we continue with medical care when it is believed there is nothing that can be done for her medically, and where should she go until the inevitable comes to pass. Nursing home? Hospice? All these things we will be forced to discuss tomorrow. I know God is in the picture, and I will hope and believe forever, but to this point what is happening is what is happening, and must be faced head on, despite what we believe to the contrary. For three months I have fought and worked every day to try to get Trish the care, the medical justice, and healing she needed and deserved from the corporate medical powers that be, but my best just wasn’t good enough. In the end, to my shame, the windmill finally got Don Quixote. The medical establishment and all its players, both good and bad, are giving up on Trish, and I’ve quickly run out of places to turn. If I live to be a hundred, I will always believe this was all avoidable, and was the direct result of wanton negligence, incompetence, mean spiritedness, and an uncaring and profiteering policy model. I will ask for your prayers, and I will let you know what happens after tomorrow’s meeting. Please remember Trish’s children and siblings. We are all absolutely devastated.

Dana… I have no words. I am holding fast, unwavering in my commitment to you and Trish.

Dana, you did not fail. You did give your best. Trish knows that, and you know that. You are not Don Quixote. She no doubt knows you are still there, too. Keep holding her as much as you can. We’ll be here for you, we always are & always will be.
-
I agree – you most certainly did NOT fail Trish! You & Trish have fought valiantly these past months and continue to do so. While we cannot know or understand God’s plan for us, please rest assured that He is watching over you both and is holding you both in His warm and loving embrace. KNOW THAT.
Will continue to pray for both of you.

There is nothing to do, Dana, other than what you are doing: standing tall against incompetent’s and money grabbing imbeciles. It sounds likely that Trish has had enough, and who can blame her? Keep standing tall, being the man you are. Those silly, unthinking, non caring, fools will never see Trish the way you can see her, and the way you always will!

Oh Dana….I’m so sorry…..prayers to you and Trish and your family🙏❤ God bless

Just said a prayer for Trish !

Dana,
I am at a loss for words. We are so very sorry.😢
You are doing all the right things and we share in your frustration at the failed “system”. 🙏
-
Dear Lord God: Thank you for holding up our dear friend Dana and giving him strength. Please give him clear signs so he always knows you’re right there with him – and Trish. AMEN.
-
You have both put up the good fight, and prayers continue for Trish, you, her family and those who love her. May God’s mercy be revealed to you all at this time, and rest assured, she knows the love that surrounds her.

Dear Dana,
I speak to how the System failed you.
“If I live to be a hundred, I will always believe this was all avoidable, and was the direct result of wanton negligence, incompetence, mean spiritedness, and an uncaring and profiteering policy model.”
I am here as your friend and family member of the PAINE.TV community. I believe that you are, and will be, in need of great healing. I will always believe that a loving and supportive environment of caring individuals whom are available for you to lean-on and rely-on will go a long way to help speed the recovery of your heart and soul. <font face=”inherit” style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; color: var(–bb-body-text-color);”>A deep dive into a very dark place is a </font><font style=””><font color=”rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)” face=”inherit”>normal to place to go here. </font></font>
<font style=””><font color=”rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)” face=”inherit”>My request of you is that you keep a chink in your mind’s (and heart’s) armor you are equipped with now, and invite us to enter that sacred space once in a while when you are at absolute rock bottom. That’s my unreasonable request of you. </font></font>
<font style=””><font color=”rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)” face=”inherit”>I don’t know you from Adam, or Job, but I know I love you as a sibling of our family, as we are all children of God, with God our divine parent.

Dana, I am crying while I am reading this because I have been there, my friend, with my mom. Watching her decline and hearing that there was absolutely nothing they could do to reverse it. It is very devastating. I pray for your peace and the peace for the children and the family and especially peace for Trish that her passing is peaceful. Know that she is in the arms of Jesus where she is whole and healed.
I cannot imagine the devastation of losing your partner. It has to be the absolute worst to watch her suffer and decline as she has. I will continue to pray for you and your family for peace and comfort.❤️💔🙏.
-
Thank you all. I would hate to face this without your love and support. God bless you all, from the bottom of my heart. I haven’t given up; I’m just navigating through those who have. I still played music for Trish all day.
-
Dana, sent you an email titled ‘night watch’. I will update you later tonight or in the morning once I get more specifics. I do have clear that you need to rest.

🙏 prayers for the two of you! 🙏🎼
