From Panic to Peace: A Mom’s Story of a Near-Fatal Heart Attack, Hospital Delirium, and Unshakeable Faith

Send us a text

We tell the full story of my husband’s massive heart attack, the codes, the impella, and the long days of delirium, doubt, and stubborn hope. We push back on bad assumptions, hold tight to faith, and find help in family, humor, and clear boundaries.

• first heart attack missed, late diagnosis
• stents placed, sudden collapse at home, CPR
• transfer to higher care, multiple codes, impella
• cooling protocols, ICU alarms, hard conversations
• advocating against rushed trach, poor scans
• sedation weaning, delirium, memory gaps
• swallow tests, NG tube conflict, meds via ice cream
• apnea nights, safety plans, step-down care
• insurance fight, life vest, discharge home
• near-death vision, meaning, ongoing therapy
• practical advocacy tips and boundaries
• community, faith, and small wins
