OMG dh is being admitted, tonight!!

[misdee]

had to call GP out earlier, gp felt that dh is cardiomyopathy is gettign worse so called dh cardiologist to get an emergency appt with her. she has just called and wants dh admitted NOW! he had a 24hr holter monitor done beginning of the week, and dh was vomiting a lot whilst on it. i have never known him to be called in this quickly.

oh misdee, don't know what to say just that I'm thinking of you and your DH and wishing you strength

oh misdee that sounds awful for him I am sending you all my love and will ask my reiki lady to send your dp some healing xx

misdee - thinking about you and your husband and kids. xx

Oh Misdee. Can only send you loads of hugs. Hope you have lots of help and support at the moment. xxx

That's dreadful, Misdee - how bad does he have to be before they put him on the list? It sounds just unbearable.

I am just so sorry. {{{}}}

Misdee I hope he improves very soon xx

How awful for you all.
I really hope things start to improve soon.

misdee, only just seen this. So sorry you're going through this now. Sending you lots of hugs and good wishes.

dh has been moved upto cardiology ward now, and on monday the caridologist is contatcting harefield.

Mummylonglegs, there are different types of caridomyopathy as you may have gathered from swilt and noddyholder's posts. They have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy which is generally felt to run in families, tho some people just have it. its a thickening of the heart muscle. Then there is dilated cardiomyopathy, which is an enlarged floppy heart. this can be inherited or it can be caused by a virus (commanly the Coxsackie B virus). dh blood screens after diagnosis were inconclusive, so they are not really 100% sure of his DCM. even if its caused by a virus then the immeidate family members should have regular screening anyway.
Post partum cardiomopathy happenes during pregnancy or shortly afterwards, but i belive it is very rare.

there are 2 other types as well, restrictive cardiomyopathy and Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy, which i dont know much about.

misdee - pleased to hear that things are moving forward, hopefully his assessment will get done sonner rather than later.

Yes after 16 hours of labour, can't have helped a dodgy heart . But is not called Post partum for nothing. He eventually came out through the sun roof.

Misdee

My prayers are with you.

Much love

Just a thought girls, but maybe we should start a seperate thread as this one really is for supporting Misdee.

Off out shopping with my bad influence friend, so if someone else could do it I would be grateful.

Unless Misdee is happy to leave it here.

Misdee over to you.

i'm ok with it here. its interesting to hear other peoples stories.

there is joanie as well, her dh also has DCM, but i dont think he is very well atm, as havent seen them about much lately.

How's your dh tonight misdee?

I've been thinking about you a lot today ...

no change. in better mood even tho he is on a ward with most people over 70. all the elderly visitors were giving me and dh odd looks, must be odd to them to see a young man (25) on cardio ward. At least he isnt at the CCU end this time. The girls want to see him tomorrow, so i'll only be able to do a short visit.

will find out monday whats happening with Harefield.

I see my consultant on weds, they may want to induce me, if they do and dh is still in hospityal i am going to request to be induced at the same hospital as dh.
