    And The Winner Is...

    The giant, complete with blood, bladder infection that I have. Not funny, I know, but I've got some horse pills for it.

    Got hubby home in a taxi van. He has no strength at all. Can't stand. This will be a real challenge for a while. I'm hoping my grandson comes tomorrow. Medical supply has delivered a nebulator for breathing treatments & a suction machine to prevent choking. Oxygen is full time for now. Home Health is supposed to come & take care of IV infusions. I'm thankful for that. His discomfort comes mostly from bedsores on his rear which have worsened. The cream they were using did not help at all, so I am trying Desitin.

    Thanks for your words of encouragement and kind thoughts.

    MDA wants to restart chemo next Monday. They may change their mind when they see the shape he's in.

    Luv,

    Wolfen

    Oh I feel for you both....

    hope the horse pills kick the crap out of your infections.....I'll bet if you had the option, you'd be able to pile into bed and sleep for a couple of days.

    I feel horrible that hubby has bed sores, they are miserable.  Any barrier type ointment will work.....I wonder if putting Aloe on it first, let it dry then put on the Desitin?

    Wolfen and Sharon my heart aches for you

    It is hard seeing our husband's suffer so.  As hard as it was to admit David needed hospice, it was the best decision.  Everything else we could have done would have just prolonged his agony.  I am sorry to hear your husband's are struggling.  All we can do is love and support what decisions they make.  Those final few days with David were precious and I am glad I did not spend time trying to get him to do things that he feared or couldn't do.  We did not worry about those things, we prayed, talked and held each others' hand.  So no matter what happens remember the love and make that the top priority.  I am sending you the biggest hug I can muster.
