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.

Delurking to say this is the best news I've heard all week! Been following this thread and so hoping for a happy outcome.

Wishing you , Mr Wardrobes and all the little Wardrobes all the best. You sound exhausted, I hope you can carve out small units of time for yourself occasionally, even if it's just to have a bath. 💐❤️

Brilliant news - so pleased to read this!

nettie434 · 18/03/2021 23:32

I've not posted before but have read your posts and wondered how things were going. So pleased that things are looking up after you have been through so much

1WayOrAnother2 · 18/03/2021 23:36

Thank-you for updating us - congratulations on the very good news.

They make you wardrobes out of tough stuff!

It might all be sunny from here on - I wish it for you.
However, if you find that you are struggling - do come and moan and complain.

Gratitude for survival gets you so far... but it can start to feel like an obligation and even mighty pieces of furniture need to spit nails every now and again.

(Some years back, my DH made it out of ICU too. Moaning is much under-rated as a response to miracles. It helps and you do deserve the support.)

Giraffey1 · 18/03/2021 23:45

Goodness, you really have been through the mill. Sending much love to all Wardrobes, large and small x

JackieQueen · 18/03/2021 23:45

So very pleased for you all. Hope things continue to improve. Very best wishes. Flowers

Delurking too. Excellent news! Flowers

@1WayOrAnother2 Moaning is much under-rated as a response to miracles. It helps and you do deserve the support. Ha, so true. Moaning is a good stress release!
