A very quick update. From Lori. I am so numb right now, I’m not sure what to think. Every second, every minute of this, is a nightmare. A rollercoaster.
Yeasterday, my husband was responsive to touch and touch. He moved his feet and opened his eyelids. I was able to tell him I love him, and I forgive him and that I know what happened was just a horrible, horrible accident.
Today, the miracle we had yesterday appears to have been a temporary one. All responses are gone. The best indication is that severe brain damage is setting in. It is highly likely, at this point in time, that we turn off Tony’s life support without the next few days.
I can’t begin to explain here…. my life is gone. My heart is broken. I am functioing, because I must, but inside I am broken.
Please, keep praying. My husband is not responding ‘normally’ to what they believe is happening and they still don’t quite know what is going on. One day, one second at a time. His blood pressure is through the roof, and that needs to come down for anything to get better.
Please, keep us in you prayers. I can feel your support and your love and your best wishes, and it buoys me in my dark hours. I do not know know what is happening. My life, my circumstances, are changing every second. I am only just barely hanging on.
But you lot are constant. I love you. i will never forget this. Thankyou, with everything I have.
And please keep praying for my Tony. Every little bit helps.
Thank you.

Enormous love to you and your family. A sadness paralysis has stopped me from knowing what to say, so I won't even try. You are in my thoughts and I wish it could have been different, so different. You will get through it. XXX
Lori i am so sorry and devastated for you and your babies.You are in my thoughts and prayers xoxo
R.I.P Tony
I just read your tweet and would like to say how sorry I am. Prayers for strength and love.
Lori, I know that I don't know you, and I do not want to intrude on your life at this terribly devastating time for you. I found your blog through Maxabella Loves and just wanted to pass on my love to you and your family. ~ Tina xx
Lori, I'm so, so sorry. You and your children are in my thoughts and prayers.
Oh Sweetheart, many prayers and much love sent to you and your littlies. Please know that grief is such a personal thing – there is no right or wrong way to react to the gigantic gaping hole in your heart and life. Be gentle with yourself and just 'be'.

Lori,
Like many others I don't know you. I'm new to the blogging community who have obviously been a huge support for you, but regardless of this I couldn't not send you my love and wishes
I'm terribly sorry to hear about this tragic news for you and your family. You are in a place that we all fear.
I hope your friends and family help to give you the strength you need to keep going each day.

A terrible tragedy.
Look for help. Don't try to carry this suffering alone.
If it was as mine, the monster was not of your making – it was there all along, dormant, silent.
triminded
My heart goes out to you.
I don't know you, but we have mutual friends on Twitter. I'm so so sorry to hear of Tony's passing, and of what your family is going through. I have two very good friends who were widows at very young ages. If I can suggest ywbb.org – it's a very nice site full of young people who have lost their spouses. I'll be praying for you and for your kids.
Lori I'm so so sorry you are going through this.
Oh gosh and reading through these comments I have discovered Tony has passed.
My thoughts are with you and I'm heartbroken for you.

Lori, I just read on another forum that Tony has passed…………….I am so sorry to hear the sad, sad news. I don't know you, nor you me, but this tragedy has really touched me and I wish there was something more I could do other than leave mere words. I hope that one day these words and the words of all the others who have commented, may bring you some very small comfort.
I am sure you will continue to be strong for your precious children, even though the going will be tough at times. Take strength from your memories of your soul mate and know that he will always be with you x
I have just heard the latest. I'm so incredibly sorry to hear of Tony's passing, Lori. I'm so sorry. There are no words right now.

From ~Trish~
Lori, there are very few of us who can even begin to contemplate what you are going through. That we dont have a shared experience does not stop us from sharing your pain though – each and every once of us commenting here, or reading about you on the various blog posts written for you, sends our love, support and positivity…for now, and for what may come. Stay strong sweet…
Sweetest Lori,
You have not left my thoughts since I first saw your post yesterday morning. I have waited, with the rest of our community with baited breath for news of you and of Tony.
I will continue to do so. Every ounce of strength and love I can send is yours. We are all praying – for a miracle for Tony – for strength and love for you.
Lori,
I believe in miracles, and I hope one is headed your way. I have prayed all day every day for you and your family since I first heard, and I will continue to pray.
Sending you all my love. You are strong, amazing and a wonderful wife. Please get better Tony. Please. xx
Lori, I can't imagine what it is like for you and your family at the moment, it is a situation that no one should be in. Stay strong and know that there are lots of people praying for you and Tony. Thinking of you.
So sorry… sending love.
I don't know you, but I love your blog and being a part of your life (like a far off cousin – twice removed). I'm not a prayer, but for this…for you – I am praying and hoping and wishing that a small spot of light will be your focus as you find your way through this darkness. Wish we could be there to help in any way you need us.
*HUGS* Thinking of you. Sending prayers, positive thoughts, and hope.
Hang in there and be strong for your beautiful bubs. Thinking of you at this horrible time.

My heart is aching for you. Sending all the love, prayers and hopes your way. I cannot imagine how difficult this is.

I think of you constantly throughout the day Lori. I've never met you face to face, but your blog has made me laugh and smile at times when I was low. Now at this darkest time in your life, I want you to know my thoughts, prayers and love and all directed at you, Tony and the kids. Miracles happen. I believe you will get yours.
I am thinking of you xo
Lori,
I too am a stranger, swept in by twitter retweets.
I'm currently (these last few months) trying to describe publicly what it's like being on the inside of a mind that reaches this terrible point.
After 20 years battling, I found a psycho-developmental reason for my tangled thoughts and consequently a layman's exit door. I really hope that my exit door might be a safe exit for someone else from this terrible thing.
It's possible that my thoughts might provide some small amount of help to you as you reach for understanding, so I am offering it only for that reason … my experience may only correlate to a fraction of the puzzle you now face.
http://triminded.com/2011/01/05/too-much-information/ (Earlier posts would help understand the terms I'm using.)
May you be blessed in some way at this time, to relieve your pain in some small amount.
R.
Much love and many positive healing vibes and thoughts to you and your family xxx
Hugs hun thinking of you and your family and hoping for a miracle.
Sending love, hope and prayers your way xoxo

You show many people like myself much support through the blogging world and you should know many of these people are thinking of you now and that collective energy I am sure is felt on your difficult journey. Love and Light.
I am glad you got to talk to him, if only to say it's okay and you love him.
Lori, you don't know me at all but I am an heartbroken for you. I hope you are all able to dig to the deepest parts of yourselves to survive this. I am praying with very ounce of my being. Much love to you and your family at this time. Xxxxxx

Fingers crossed so hard for you Lori that I can hardly type.
You are in my prayers.
I feel like MY life has been on hold waiting to hear something from you. I was even signed up for a twitter account today because somebody said you posted there… I do not have words for what you are going through but hang in there. I have two small kids just like yours and I know I would be a wreck without some support.
I too am here for whatever I could possibly offer!
Love and prayers are being sent your way. I wish there was a way to take away this unbearable pain. Know that there are many people praying and thinking of you all. xxxx

Oh God Lori. I don't know what to say. I often question the meaning of life but to know there is such tragedy around us (and right there for you personally, right here, right now) breaks my heart. I don't know what good ever can come out of situations like yours. There can't be a "reason" for this, surely? I just hope and pray that all our prayers are reaching you and that God will listen to us all. You are amazing. You are stronger than you think. Prayers, hugs and everything in between coming your way always…

Oh my God Lori. We are right here. RIGHT here. Just a keyboard away. I really feel that all this energy has to account for something. It's got to work. I've seen it work face-to-face and I am sure this presence on line will work as well. Keep hoping and praying and believing, and so will we. Best wishes and loads of hugs. Leanne.

We are here, and surely all this positive energy cannot NOT count in the universe. Even Boy 1 has been focusing, sending positive energy to your auras (don't ask me, the 12 year old is the expert in this house).

You have been on my mind every second since Thursday night…. even in my dreams. I am with Ezy, I can't believe you are going through this. I wish I could take this week away so that you never had to go through this. If there is anything I can do, I'm here.
Oh my darling, I can't belive this is happening to one of the nicest, most awesomest people I know. I pray for you constantly and will be there with anything you need. I love you lots.
Thinking and praying for Tony and you and your family. Hoping that you having comforting arms holding you IRL as you do 'virtual' arms here on your blog.
Wishing you strength and peace.
Oh my god, Lori. I only just saw what's going on. I am so sorry to hear you are all going through this. Sending you so much love and strength and healing. You and Tony will be in my prayers. xx
