Here's how thoughtful Onyx is - she took the time to phone me, too. She wanted to let me know that she is home and is going to try to get some sleep now. At least that's what she has promised.

Her two sons are with her husband in ICU Recovery right now, her hubby told her to go home and get some sleep. He is in stable condition. Onyx thought it was a good sign that he told her to go home.

His blood pressure had dropped pretty far during surgery due to the blood loss, but the doctors got it back up to normal. She said that the doctors have stitched up everything but his biceps.

Onyx just noticed in the last hour or so that she is completely covered in blood and wondered why she had not noticed it before. She said it sort of brought to mind how Jackie Kennedy must have felt so long ago.

She mentioned that the 911 operator demanded that Onyx talk to her, while Onyx was trying to listen to her husband's instructions so that Onyx could stop or at least slow down his blood flow. His arm was nearly detached in the fall.

The 911 operator dispatched paramedics from a very distant location which meant that there was a 17 minute wait until the ambulance arrived.

Yet, there is a Fire Dept. station with paramedics located blocks from Onyx' house. While waiting and trying to stop her husband's blood loss, Onyx said her husband started losing consciousness.

Onyx said she is concerned about the blood all over the house. I suggested that she focus on getting sleep now and leaving the cleanup until later so that she can return to the hospital well rested today.

Onyx somehow held it all together from early Sunday morning and was able to save her husband's life. I asked her if she had cried yet, because while listening to her, I started getting choked up.

She said that she had been too busy trying to save her husband but thought that "maybe when things calm down," or when she "really starts thinking about what happened" she thought that maybe then she'll "fall to pieces." Somehow, I doubt very much that will happen. She's one strong lady.

Onyx said that she is very grateful to everyone for their prayers and to be sure and thank everyone.

Onyx says Thank You!

Thank you for letting us all know.

Prayers of comfort and healing are on their way. That must have been so scary to witness and endure. May God be with you and hear your every prayer.
