Hand hold - DH likely to die in next few days

[Bahemoth]

My DH went to hospital a month ago with seizures that wouldn’t stop. He was resistant to all medication so they had to put him in an induced coma on ICU to try and stop them and reduce swelling on the brain. This last option hadn’t worked, as they don’t know the underlying cause for the seizures and they’ve now told me he’s unlikely to survive.

We have two young children and I’m not sure how I can face life without him or how I would break the news to DS9 when the time comes. My other child is 4. I’m in bits, he’s only 39 and was fit and healthy before this.

That's great news , I know there is probably still a long road ahead of all of you but you are heading in the right direction.

Hi yes he’s had a few lumbar punctures that’s have been clear but they’re testing him for various other antibodies that may cause encephalitis. They’re still waiting for a few blood tests to come back but at least they have more time now he’s stable.

So pleased at your update, op, hope he continues to improve 💐

So pleased for you @Bahemoth . When my Dsis had encephalitis, it was the high dose steroids that finally brought an improvement. They never found the cause for my sister, but she did recover.

Amazing news. Thank goodness ❤️

So pleased to read this OP.

I really hope it’s something more treatable and he continues to make a good recovery!

Goodness, you have all been through the mill, but what a positive sounding update! Sending you so much love and as many handholds as you need xx

That’s such good news.

Thanks for the update. Glad things are improving. What a time you've both had, wishing you well

I’m so pleased to hear this! I know it’s probably a bit daft as we don’t know each other, but I’ve been worried about you and your family and I’m pleased to hear your husband is doing well 😊
wishing you all the best!

Delighted to read an improvement. 💐
I hope things continue to be positive.

This is great news OP . He seems to have come a long way since you first posted. Best wishes x

Op that’s amazing news, I’m absolutely over the moon for you, I have my fingers tightly crossed for his recovery. Sending you luck and light. ✨

So so happy to hear this news! Sending love to all your family xxx

What a great update! All the best wishes to you and your family.

Best wishes to you all.

Wonderful news! Praise & gratitude to all medical staff involved. I hope they eventually get to the route of it. One thing is certain OP they won't give up until they do 💐

So pleased to hear he is improving.

Great news for the family.

I didn’t want to mention it before but have you had the spring water recently retested as I do know it can change.

Look after yourself also

Great news that he's awake and talking! I hope they work out what's going on soon.
