Poisoned?!?!

[AngieDoogles]

The hospital told us that Brendon's dad may have been poisoned! I am beyond words right now so I'm sorry if I ramble...

My FIL as you know has been in the hospital in ICU for the past few days and the doctors just can't seem to find out what's wrong with him. He lost 25% of his blood the day he was admitted to the hospital. When he was in the ambulance on the way to the ER, his wife (Brendon's "evil" step-mother I've mentioned before) yelled at him the whole way. He doesn't remember what she was yelling about (he was in and out of consciousness), but he says she really just didn't care if he lived or died. She was probably mad because she found out that he's trying to get enough evidence to send her back to jail. She left the hospital before he was even taken to a room...

Well, when he was admitted, they put him under a state name (the same way they do for someone in the witness protection program). We didn't really think anything of this until the family advocate told us tonight that it was standard procedure when there was a suspected poisoning or intentional harm to the patient. When we talked to Brendon's dad about it, he was really scared. He says that she (his wife) had started making his lunch for him this past week...and she's never done that before, EVER! Everyday she packed a ham sandwich and jello along with a few other things. Brendon and his dad think she used a hypodermic needle to inject something into the jello cup. She's a former nurse so she has lots of them around the house.

We asked the person at the front desk why he would've been given a state name when he was admitted, just to be sure that it wasn't just standard procedure for patients arriving by ambulance, or those admitted to ICU, or something like that...and he said the same thing as the advocate...it's only when there is a suspected poisoning or some kind of intentional harm.

They are both really freaked out...and honestly, so am I. I just can't stop thinking about it. How could someone do this? Did she mean for him to die or just get sick? Where do we go from here? How do we protect him? No one deserves the pain and suffering she's put him and his children through. I just don't know how someone can be so cruel and heartless...

Just to give you an update, he was moved back to ICU tonight. He's bleeding internally and his hemoglobin levels dropped by 30% in just a few hours time. Please pray for him if you think of it.

Thanks for letting me vent...
