Eddie,
Every experience leaves us with something, I hope that you and your wife feel gratitude before all. Your experience brought you to a point where you realized how helpless you are, in that humility came first followed by a feeling of being so very thankful that your wife is still at your side.
I pray for a complete recovery for your wife and a deeper understanding of life for you.
Thanks for sharing your story, it is appreciated. It is a survival love story.
John C.
