LVAD has been changed...

[misdee]

to a VAD. looks like peter will have double exterior pump fitted tomorrow (tho have been told this all could change in the OR). it means he wont be coming home. not till after transplant.

he is going to miss dd2 birthday, he is going to miss dd3 growing from baby to almost toddler. this isnt fair.

misdee, I can't add much more than anyone else has already said. You're in my thoughts, as ever.

So sorry Misdee - i hope he gets his transplant soon. im thinking of you and Peter

Misdee, I'm so sorry. thinking of you

Misdee, does the ITU have anywhere for you to stay? Not much help with regards to your DC but might help you to be close to him.

there is parkwood house on site, but family rooms are all booked atm. his mum has book for 2 nights starting tomorrow.

i'm very sorry misdee,he is in good hands and you will get through this,i will be thinking of you all tomorrow.

Sorry to hear all this misdee - they'll do whatever's best when they get to theatre. I'll hope for the LVAD but if it's not to be....wish i could do more than send you strength (((hug)))

i have been shown ITU, and know ican ask anything iwant at any time. wish i could be there tomorrow, but as i havent told dd1 yet about the op, then am keeping things as normal as possible for tomorrow. tho i'll be a wreak.

Misdee, you have amazing strength and courage, plus all of us 100% behind you offering support and help in any way we can. Just ask if you can think of anything we can do. XXX

strange question - and feel free to say 'no' - but could you CAT/email me your first name (misdee) feels a bit odd when praying for Peter and "misdee".

Shall be thinking of you.

Misdee is he having any psychological help to deal with this?I only ask because I had real problems when on dialysis with the thought that a machine was keeping me alive and this is apparently very common esp in younger patients Hope everything goes smoothly today xxx

thinking of you today, have a lump in my throat thinking about you, take care, be brave and think of all the good times you've had and will have in the future

Oh misdee - by the time I opened this thread Peter will already be in surgery.

All the very best to you and Peter. We'll give you all the support we can. {{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}
