Been to see peter today...

[misdee]

he is showing signs of another infection. feels sick and headachey. blood results from yesterday show the beginning signs, so mroe bloods and swabs taken today. he is too weak atm to go back on the list. he needs to get his strength back.

So sorry, everything seemed to be going so well. Hope this is a very minor set back for him. Big hugs

sorry to hear that misdee. Just don't know what to say other than that.

Oh pooh Misdee.

misdee, I'm so sorry. Hang in there, he's overcome this before. I know you must be absolutely fed up with it. But things will get better.

Oh {{{hugs}}} misdee, am not a regular poster on your threads, but check in on you from time to time, I really hope your luck changes soon x

Sorry to hear this misdee. Hope Peter is soon responding to antibiotics and regaining his strength.

they havent started them yet. but they have stop his frusimide. something is starting infection wise but not sure what.

The hospital started anti-biotics last night for Peters infection. But he had a reaction to one, whihc meand he had injected into him hydrocortisone(think thats what he said), piriton, and was also given a nebuliser. So thats another drug to add to his red armband of things he cannot take.

Generally he is doing ok, but is too weak to go back on teh transplant list. BUT he did go to the canteen last night, altho he couldnt sit down as the chairs are too low for him. And this morning i have been measuring our furniture, the sofa is too low, so need a wide high arm chair for him, but our bed is fine in height.

sendin you all the positive vibe I can. (((hugs))))

God you guys are really going through it.

I guess a seperate armchair would be best, but if he wanted to use the couch to lie down, you can get thingys (technical term) to put under them to boost them. My FIL has them.

Praying for you.

LGJ- do you mean like an extra cushion to go under the sofa cushion?

Misdee- i really hope things go your way and Peter can soon be put back on the transpllant list

No they are like cups, cant explain it really will have a google later.

{{{{Hugs}}}} to you Misdee, thinking of you and Peter :-) xxx

I'm sorry Misdee - I hope he's over the infection (if it is that) very, very soon - and back on the list asap xxxxxxxxxxx

So sorry you haveing this complication misdee; hope Peter responds to the anti-b soon.

chair lifters

So sorry you're having to go through this again, I hope he recovers soon.

Hi Misdee, how is Peter today? Any better?

Infection is under control, not causing him much problem apart from being tired. he ius doing well, and as his walks and exercise has increased even with the infection, they are going to start the transplant list tests again.

i saw the open wounds on his VAD site today, serves me right for just walking in and not knocking, he was having his dressings changes, usually they write on the door 'dressing in progress' but today they didnt.

Well that's a relief that the infection is under control. I hope it all goes well from here onwards. Good luck.
