My Husband is dying and there is nothing i can do, but there is something you can do to help

[misdee]

become an organ donor

give blood

thank you.

Misdee has something happened with Peter?Are you ok?

I give blood and am on the organ register.

Are you OK misdee?

nothing major has happened. he is seeming weaker, more tired, less colour, more infections, more pain. but he is ok.

they say each day on the list is a day closer to transplant, but its also a day closer to death.

i just went in to kiss him on the cheek, and he looks so frail.

Thinking of you all today and hoping you get the call.It is such a rollercoaster you must be exhausted.

Thinking of you & Peter, misdee.
I am already on the organ register.

I can't give blood because I have had a blood transfusion recently but I have joined the register and have ordered some leaflets to distribute at work. Good call, Misdee and all the best to you and your family.

thinking of you all xxx

I am on the organ register but don't think I'd have anything any use and too old for blood

Misdee - dh and I are on the organ donor register, dh gives blood regularly. I haven't been able to for a couple of years for health reasons but I will make a point of doing it now.
Love to you and your family.

Im on the organ donor list too. Not given blood yet but will have a look and find out more.

Ok I have just signed up to the register, thanks for the link and I really feel for you and your family.

Hijack - Morticia, can you donate organs after a transfusion? I declined one, because they told me you couldnt...

thinking of you...

have given every pint of blood i can since 18 years of age... and have been on the organ donor register pretty much since it started...

also on the bone marrow register too

lots of love to you both at this difficult time, and lets hope a donor comes avaliable soon

and ((hugs)) for misdee - im on register, and will donate blood when DS is 1.

misdee, I will give blood as soon as I can, pregnant at the mo and then will be breastfeeding (can you do it then) I should have alwasy been doing it as I have negative blood type which is rare.

you cant give blood until you have stopped breastfeeding.

dd3 still breastfeeding, so i cant do it yet either

So sorry to read this thread.
Have been regular blood donor for many years. Can't at moment cos too soon after dd birth.
Have finally convinced dh to donate blood for first time.
We are both on organ donation register.
Thoughts and prayers with you both

Oh Misdee, sending you both all my love.

I'm on the regester already, dh can't be because of the cancer.

and I have given over 70 units of blood over the years, again dh can't

how is dh mb?

can you find a link for bone marrow donor as well to add?

He is OK. I'm being a fart about him. He has just had his medical catagory improved by th RAF, but it don't stop me worrying about him.

Thankfully he has a bone marrow match in his middle brother....dh is one of 4 so the odds were in his favour that he would have a match and one did. they other two were gutted that they didn't.

At the momnet he is on 'watch and wait' no treatment is needed, thankfully.

Ever time I see an ambulance going to an RTA I think of you and Peter. God knows you both deserve some good luck

I am not able to give blood! I received several units in 1986 so I guess I was disqualified when I answered yes to the question of whether I had received blood since 1980. But that was years ago!

I'm on the list too Misdee - joined after one of your earlier posts and told my family. Also give blood and always have. Sorry you are (understandably) feeling pessimistic, it must be very hard to deal with. My heart goes out to you.

just joined the list and sent the link to my family and friends.

all the best to you and your family xx

Already on the list but {{{Hugs}}}} Misdee, hoping Peter gets a transplant soon.
