It's not fair - he hasn't been right since he came and it has all come to a head tonight

He is coughing up blood & generally very poorly

& we are at Papworth tomorrow at 3

Oh someone talk to me I feel insecure

Dh said tonight 'I wonder if they will keep me in tomorrow' & the scary thing is I hope they will

Can't offer any advice I'm afraid, but didn't want you to go unanswered.
Is your DH being treated by the hospital? Maybe if he is kept in they can treat him quicker?
Sorry, not much help but here to chat if you like Xmas Smile

Hi, don't want you to be on your own, sorry have nothing helpful to say - maybe a good thing if that's what he's going in for? Sometimes nothing worse than going in very healthy and no one able to help - sorry if I am being useless!

He sees them every 6 weeks or so & gets admitted about once a year; he's only been out for about 7 weeks so it's a bit soon

But the blood is quite new

Sorry, he has Chronic Lung Disease (diagnosed about 3 yrs ago) but it doesn't really fit any normal patten so they struggle to treat it

oh damn. How long would they keep him in for?

twirlymum · 01/12/2010 23:17

Hope he's ok. Does the cold weather affect his condition?

Sorry I fell asleep - they keep him in for 2 weeks (or at least they have the last 3 times)

The cold weather does affect him, but it's viruses (virusi?) that do the most damage & bugs
