Wardrobes DH ICU

Just thought I’d create a new thread. To help us to keep track of what’s happened.

My DH was ventilated last week. We’ve had two calls to see him due to him being very close to death. He isn’t stable but he is still alive at the moment. All we can do is wait.

I’m not going to lie, I’m not coping at all. My mum has moved in to help me cope with daily life. We’ve spoken with the children and they know how serious it is. They are also struggling now with the youngest stepping back from schooling when she needs to.

I can’t think ahead. Just usually about the hour or two that we’re living in. It’s very surreal. And incredibly difficult. Doctors are very realistic about prognosis and survival, which is really hard to hear.

I am incredibly grateful for all the support we’ve had as a family. MN is a remarkable place at times.

@groovinpeanut - Flowers my heart goes out to you and your family and I’m so sorry for the loss of your DH, message me anytime X

@intheshadowofthemushroomcloud - Flowers for all your support and messages.

I have had several messages from other mnetters who don’t have their own threads but who are also experiencing this living hell Flowers it’s a horrible journey and we don’t know how it will end but all we can do is hope/pray for a better outcome.

I haven’t always had the energy to post, too fearful of jinxing things and generally the last few days have been very raw and intense. But I’ve read every message and I’m so grateful of the support.

No need to reply at all, but you and your family are never far from my thoughts.

Hope knowing the lovely nest of vipers is virtually by your side helps.

This thread is a tool for you, Wardrobes. As soon as it stops being useful and starts feeling like a burden, step away and don’t look back.
Love and prayers for you all.

Prayers for DH, you and all the family wardrobes

Passthewinebottle · 07/02/2021 12:24

I have thought about you & your DH so much since discovering this thread OP. I am truly praying for a miracle for you all. Do not ever feel like you have to post here again, only if it is in anyway helpful to you xxxxxxxxx

SlightlyJaded · 07/02/2021 22:13

I don't think you'll be back here Wardrobes, but if you did ever read the thread again, I just wanted to let you know that I was lying in bed really hoping you got your miracle. And if you didn't, I'm a stranger on the internet telling you how sorry I am.

Lovely post Jaded. Echo your thoughts.

Still thinking of you. Makes me very tearful that so many strangers care for another and that you have to go through this horrific experience. Flowers.

NisekoWhistler · 10/02/2021 13:36

Still thinking of you wardrobes. Checking the thread daily to hope the rollercoaster you're on has taken an upward turn

Me too Niseko. Very concerned for them all Flowers.
