Good Evening - I'm Phil, lissielou's husband, following the scan today - Lisa was rushed to hospital, diagnosed with a Ectopic Pregnancy, I have just spoke to the hospital and she is still asleep following the procedure, however as the scan was not conclusive I don't know the extent of the damage as the Dr proposed one of four procedures laparoscopy/laparotomy/salpingectomy or oophotectomy dependent on the attachment of the baby (which was progressing well)the procedures are worse as the list continues. Following a conversation with the nurse she was unable to tell me which procedure they have operated on Lisa.
The last thing she said before I was told to go, was to send this message to her friends on mumsnet.

Both her boys (Noah and me) are desperatly missing there mom and bestfriend

Thanks

Phil

So sorry to hear this lots of people here have been hoping so hard that things would go right for lissie - please give her our love

PeckaRolloverAgain · 08/02/2007 18:43

OMG Im so sorry for her - her early pregnancy had been fraught with some worrying times and I was SO pleased that it seemed to be working out ok.

I had an ectopic pregnancy and laparoscopy. Take good care of her when she comes home - she will be sore/emotional/hormonal/exhausted/shaky/wobbly/sad for at least a week or two.

Although by the sound of your message you wont need any prompting to look after her.

Im very sorry for your loss.

ShowOfHands · 08/02/2007 18:44

Oh no. Poor lissie.

Bless you for coming on here. Send her our love and we'll be waiting here thinking of her- and you and Noah of course.

Oh I am so sorry, please give Lissie and Noah a big hug. Thank goodness it was spotted at the scan, but so very sad that this has happened to you.

ledodgy · 08/02/2007 18:46

I'm so sorry to hear this. Please tell Lissie that we're thinking of her and we are here for her when she needs us.

Wish her well. I had a ectopic almost 2 years ago, had the full works with the laparotomy. She will take sometime to recover if this is what she had. I was in hospital for 4 days, it took a good 2 weeks before I felt comfortable walking and it was recommended that I didn't work for 6 weeks, she will not be able to drive for 6 weeks. Its a tough time, emotions range from feeling very sad about losing a wanted baby to feeling very relieved that you are still alive.

Funnily (sp?) enough I wasn't too bad when I was in hospital, it wasn't until I came home that everything hit me. One of my biggest problems was trying not to get to frustrated with myself over my recovery time. Tell her to take it easy and be kind to herself.

I am very sorry you are all going through this x

belgo · 08/02/2007 18:48

Very sorry to hear this. Thinking of you all.

fettle · 08/02/2007 19:03

Phil - oh poor poor Lissie and poor poor you! I am so sorry to hear this news - I was so hoping for her - she sounded so positive after everything that last few weeks have thrown at her.

Give her a big hug from us all - tell her we are thinking of her.

take care of yourself too - its hard on the husbands/partners, as they feel they can't show their feelings while worrying about their loved ones.
