peters vad site is leaking a lot of fluid. indication of bad infection, he has pain in his back and feels rotton. swabs have been taken. am hoping infection doesnt get a grip too quickly as last time it set his ICD off 5times in 24hours, and its horrible. i have to phone in the morning to find out whats happening and if i can take the kids in or not.

I assume they're cranking up the pain relief when they're doing the dressings?

misdee · 15/11/2005 14:50

not sure, i arrived just before they started. they did say if it carries on with the bleeding they consider knocking him out, because its movement of the vad which is attached to his heart i;m not sure if the pain releif would work.

Hang in there you two. You're always in my thoughts and prayers. Wishing you all the strength in the world to get through this.

  • sorry to hear things are no better. I have so much admiration for the way you keep going through all this. x
hub2dee · 15/11/2005 15:29

hi misdee, wow, low low bp hey. How crapola. He must just feel dreadful and miserable, and obviously seeing him so poorly just makes it so much harder for you.

Glad you missed the text though, even just to have a few mins together, I'm sure he'll keep you in his mind's eye when he's resting, and think about all his girls ! X

dw is going to Brent Cross now to assist the both of you with a tiny bit of retail therapy. She says she knows what to get (I'm crap at this sort of thing, LOL). Keep an eye out for something to make you smile, and let P know something should land in a few days.

Thinking of you and yours !

Thinking of you all and hoping for some good news soon.

Springchicken · 15/11/2005 15:33

Oh misdee. so sorry Peter isn't doing well
It must be so hard for you, i just dont know how you cope. You are an amazing woman

motherinferior · 15/11/2005 15:33

Oh shit, Misdee, I'm so very sorry.

dejinglejags · 15/11/2005 17:50

I couldn't go away without posting. You are all in my thoughts - I feel so desparate on Peter's behalf, just the tiniest fraction of what you must be feeling.

Hang in there, you are doing a fantastic job holding it together.
