To please, please ask for your positive stories of people getting well having been on HDU/ intensive care

[grobagsforever]

DP was admitted last week and moved to HDU last night. They don't know what's wrong. He has fluid on belly, some kind of infection and impiared liver function. There is talk of moving him ti ICU. We seem to be waiting on endless tests. He is 35 we have a three year old and I am 7 months pregnant. I need him . Please tell me your positive stories of recovery from these situations.

Grobagsforever, sending much love & hugs. So sorry to hear your news. Big hugs to you & your little girl & baby.

Oh Gro I'm so very sorry. You, DH and your children have been in my thoughts.

Sending you love and strength for the next few weeks, months, years. Look after yourself, accept help, enjoy long cuddles with DD and try and eat and drink (little and often) for your sake and that of your unborn DC.

Your family will continue to be in my thoughts. (((Tight hug)))

I think gro needs some advice on this thread for anyone in the know.

What a terrible story.

I hope you are getting RL help that you so clearly need

Hopefully, once you've finished updating your child care thread you could pop on here to let us all know how things are going. Assume the funeral will be delayed as he died so suddenly and without diagnosis

Lots of lovely people here with such genuinely heart breaking stories, sending much love to all you brave people xx

I'm so very sorry Grobags.
You and your DH and your beautiful children have been in my thoughts.

So so sorry for your loss Gro. May you see the beauty of your husband's love in the eyes of your children.

sorry gro. I will be thinking of you.

fwiw i also didnt go home when DS was in hospital critically ill for 8 weeks. We had a side room and i slept on a camp bed. i took one night out to sleep at home on xmas eve and returned to hospital at 8am christmas day. That was the only time out i had. I didnt want to be anywhere else. i did all of ds personal care, and i would do again. I totally understand gros need to be there 24/7.

look after yourself now gro and let others around you help you. You have your babies to think about and you need keep going for them.

much love.

I am so sorry for your loss Gro, thinking of you x

Grobags, I am so sorry.

My mum, much loved and who lived with us, died of cancer, diagnosed only 3 weeks before she died. It is not the same at all as your experience and loss, I do know that, but even so I wanted to tell you that there will be a time when you will notice the sun is shining again, that you are looking forward to some small thing, that you have just smiled or laughed.

I guess that you are living in darkness right now, the world has changed irrevocably and you don't recognise it, don't fit in it and don't want it to be like this; what I'm trying to say is that this is a seriously bad time to make big decisions. Treading water is good sometimes.

Strangely I was thinking of gro too. I hope gro you know how many people are thinking of you. Keep strong x
