Poem
Dying Is Horrifying Has been sad to me; Dying is horrifying; Will never forget. My wife Jill is in intensive care right now under sedation. Sunday morning she had shortness of breath. An aide car came out and gave her oxygen and she started to get better. They said to take her to the Emergency Room at Novant Hospital in Bolivia, NC. She was admitted to stay overnight for a check up. The next day in the morning she received a call from Stephanie Lynott then was visited by the Jones's who had dropped by. She received an email on her cell phone of the choir singing Sunday on January 27, 2019 at St. James Episcopal. At around noon yesterday she had more severe breathing problems. They had diagnosed her as having Pneumonia and fluid on the lungs. The put her on a ventilator but that did not solve the problem. She is now in ICU and they have put a trachea in her throat and inserted some other things in her throat. Needless to say, I am scared as hell and have been crying and really upset. She is under sedation right now and won't be coming out of it until about eight am. I cried myself to sleep at around nine last night. I awoke at midnight thinking that I was hearing Jill calling me. Shawn just had his 50th Birthday on January 24th. I am afraid to call him. I am driving over at eight AM to see her again. She is supposed to start coming out of it by then and I should be able to talk to her hopefully. This is the latest and will keep you updated. Dr. Doran is her doctor. There is a Doran Garage in Shallotte, NC but she is not related and is here from New York State. I still am afraid to call Shawn. Love, Jim Horn
