To think that my otherwise healthy 39 yo DB shouldn’t be trying not to die from sepsis?

Just that really. Best part of a week spent in ICU, where I’ve been staying o/night with DSiL as she is still bf their 7 month old. Now I’m home and I have time to think, and I think it is all a bit shit. I thought I should come home and see my DC and DH but I’m going to end up more emotional-wreck than rested. How on earth do I support my DM and DF as their beautiful son lies day after day, just-about-not-dying? How on earth can I hold space for my wonderful, brave DSiL and their two DC when I just want to shout and scream at him to stop being such a pillock and get the feck better?

@mnbvcxz098 Ffs rtft. Check the date of the thread.
Even if it was recent your comment is unnecessary and rude.
OP I remember your thread. I am very glad your Dbro is on the road to recovery.

Oh what a lovely update - I didn't see this thread when it was first posted but I'm SO GLAD that your DB has come through it all and is now cycling with his children.

I hope that YOU are ok - this is the sort of thing that has the potential to cause delayed trauma for you - have you had support and been able to talk it through with anyone?

Thank you for updating - what a lovely positive follow-up Thanks

Sounds like he is adapting to life post amputation really well. Hope you get to do the paddle boarding soon....maybe when the weather is warmer next summer.

Brilliant update OP. So glad for you both.

IceBearRocks · 04/10/2019 17:28

This is AMAZING OP..... I've just spent 4 weeks in hospital with my disabled DS watching him fight pneumonia and Sepsis in PICU for nearly 3 of those weeks.
Hes quite a rare little boy so watching him receive Star of the week in school today (he did an hour yesterday and two today ) was a tearful moment!
It looks like sepsis have broken his tummy as it doesn't absorb his gastro feeds anymore ...so fed into jejunum....but if that's the worst thing ..... hes alive !
I'm so please to hear about you DB....I love a fighter!
