Handhold DH heading to ICU covid

999 replies

Wardrobes123 · 02/01/2021 08:57

DH went to hospital yesterday for breathing issues. We’ve been unwell for a few days and we’re already awaiting covid tests.

Just been told he’s taken a turn and is heading to ICU. He is ECV and we’ve been so careful, we’ve not been out except to the supermarket, and we’ve avoided seeing anyone.

I’m just so worried and I know the next few days will be critical

Still here if you need me, although no need to feel obligated to update!
Yes!

I find the requests for updates very distasteful. The OP is undergoing harrowing events, she is not part of a soap opera.

Leave her alone.

Couldn't agree with this more. The poor OP should be able to come here to access support as and when she needs it, not to feel under extra pressure from posters (however well-meaning) to provide regular updates... We should be here for her not the other way round...
Sending love OP...

Sorry it’s been a very tough few days and honestly I’m at breaking point. DH was ventilated.

We talked with his doctors and they advised that they didn’t expect DH to recover. They have ventilated him because there is a slim chance he might but they’ve told me it’s very unlikely.

My heart is broken.

I’ve got family supporting us at the moment. We just have to wait and see.
