    Update

    My day's open heart surgery  went well.  He is still in surgical ICU. Monday will be two weeks since his heart attack.  I am with him everyday.

    Meanwhile my husband is finally admitting that he doesn't feel well.  He had a 101+ fever last night. Today he is nauseous and feels like he is going to vomit and has abdominal pain. I'm really thinking its an infection from the bile duct stent. So if he has a fever tonight we are talking about getting him to his dr or ER at UCLA where he had his liver resections. Therefore, I need someone to cover for me and be with my dad in the hospital here.  All family is out of town but they can get here.  On top of it, I am really close to running out of family medical leave days which means I would have to take a year leave of absence.

    Thank you for letting me vent.  I Just needed to get that off my chest. 

    Please, I would love advice regarding my hubby. Do you think it sounds like an infection? Should we go right away? I think i know answers the answers. Just need to hear it from someone else.  Usually our gut instincts are right, huh?!? 

    How come I keep missing you?

    If you still need me to pitch in, I am in So Cal....by Riverside....

     

    Where is your dad?  Would you like a breather?  Can I come help?  How is hubby today?

     

    CAN I HELP???????

     

    The only 'busy' day for me this week is Wednesday, I'm talking to High School classes about my career....

     

    Hugs, Kathi

    100 fever

    Hi Alex,

    We are in similar situations with our husbands.    **** had chemo on Wednesday and still feels like totaly junk today.  He has a low grade fever and we are hoping it is a cold (our daughter had a low grade fever the past 3 days).  I am thinking of you and I know you are so maxed out with your dad and your husband.  Prayers that you will get some help.

    Aloha,

    Kathleen

    Hi Kathleen, I too am

    Hi Kathleen, I too am thinking of you often as I know our husband's have been on similar journeys for almost the same length of time.   How is your husband doing today? Are you still working? XO Alex

    Thinking of you

    Hi Alex,

    I hope that things are improving for you, your hubby, and your dad.  It sounds like you have way too much going on right now.  I can definately relate to everything you are feeling.  It is just way too much and seems to get harder as the years go on. Sending prayers for you all!  xoxo

    PS.  The "Be strong" comment grates on my nerves also
