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.

This is the best thing I've read on here - I'm elated for you I really am.💕💕💕

Hopefully the worst is past. Sounds like he's still in a bad way but working hard to get better. Hope he continues to improve and all the younger wardrobes are well.

Sounds like they have an amazing mum to have coped with all that.

Wonderful news wardrobes. Thinking of you all.

Having been redeployed to work in ICU during both COVID waves, its good to hear of stories where the patient continues to make progress. I still think of the patients i nursed and want to believe that they all went home to their families and loved ones.

Thinking of you and your loved ones @Wardrobes123.
