methadone overdose

Hello everyone. My Keith has been on a ventilator for 2 days. He is in kidney and liver failure, had a stroke, the entire left side of his brain is involved, and the brain stem is swollen. I picked up his girls at the airport and they are spending the nite @the icu, just to be near him. Just to touch and love him. I am hoping they will be disconnecting the vent tomorrow. He looks more at peace now than he has in months, not running from the demons. He is 50 years old. The creditors are calling and leaving messages. We are not married, I loved him but didn't agree with the way he handled money so I didn't marry him although we bought a home together.I was looking for his jewelry, he had 3 very expensive rings and some heavy gold chains. I have only found one of the rings[the nicest one, one that I bought him], and one chain. The rest may have been pawned. I am all cried out. I knew that I could not have stayed much longer, but I still love him.
