Hand hold - DH likely to die in next few days

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.

Oh what great news. Thank you so much for updating. I've thought about you both and your children such a lot and will continue to pray to any god that might listen for his continued recovery. Will keep looking out for any updates.

So pleased to hear this, best wishes for his continued recovery. Pay attention to your own mental health too, after what you have been through!
