I'm so sorry
Kathi, I'm so sorry about your beau. I will definitely be praying for him. If it's any comfort to you (and I obviously know nothing about your beau's medical condition) my husband a rapid heartbeat and arrythymia many years ago and he's doing fine.
Hugs,

Fast-forward 7 days.....
Well, Hans came home today. He still has moments of memory loss, and is sleeping for the first time in 2 days. Seems hospitals are not condusive to sleep...tooo much noise!
He is home to recover for a few days, and then another procedure, that will take his AV node and insert a pacemaker will be done. He ended up with pneumonia.
I cannot tell you all how much I appreciate all of your kind words!!!! The hospital did not have wireless (heck, I couldn't even use my cell phone inside), and I ended up sleeping 2 nights on a chair, and 3 nights (finally!) on a cot. It was not pretty...he would call out my name every 15 minutes or so, just to make sure I was there. He was very uncooperative.
I just learned today that on the night following the proceedure he coded for 3 minutes. The doctors were very concerned, with the confusion that started after he was revived, that he had neurological damage. Still not out of the woods on that completely, although now he seems to be tracking better.
As I said earlier, I have no idea how you caregivers do it! I had a pissing contest (appropriately) with the urologist that inserted the Foley catheter. I had a nurse removed that was totally incompetant, and allowed Hans to remove his own NG tube (before it should have been removed). I am still getting 3 different versions of what exactly happened on Monday night that caused him to code. A fellow (read grown-up intern) in cardiology shocked him 3 times without orders or release to do so (right in front of me, I might add). I guess it shows that incompetence can happen in other illnesses besides cancer treatment...
Again, BIG hugs to you all....
Hugs and kisses, Kathi0 -

Kathi, I am so glad to hear that Hans is home now. I will keep him and you in my prayers as he has the pacemaker inserted. How blessed Hans is to have you there to look out for him. I hope that he will continue to show improvement and no long-lasting neurological damage.
Wishing you and Hans both plenty of rest and sleep. You must be exhausted yourself. Take care, and keep in touch as you can.0 -

OMG....I know your narrative didn't do justice to what you and Hans went through, both physically and emotionally. I am soooo happy you 2 are back home again; it should go without saying that of course Reggie and I wish, hope and send healing vibes out to Hans for his R&R and a successful follow up procedure.
Hugs to you both!

you are a wonderful caregiver and Hans must love you more than anything, or why would he call out for you every 15 min. I know leaving care of a love one is so frustrating when you know they may not be competent. but at least you are both at home, and healing prayers are on the way. I am still praying for you both and complete healing for Hans.
God Bless

I hope Hans is resting comfortably now and on his way to recovery. He is so lucky to have you advocate for him at the hospital and taking care of him at home. That is so important for ultimate recovery. I wish the both of you much peace and health.

Kathi, I have searched theKristin N said:So Sorry Kathi
I will certainly say prayers for your beau and you! Hugs!
Kathi, I have searched the board several times a day to get an update on you and Hans, so it was good to hear from you regarding his recovery. I know that the board has brought me close to several people here, and you were one of the first who was kind enough to help me with problems with beginning chemo. Please know that you have been in my thoughts, day and night, and I am so relieved that your beau is on the way to recovery. Prayers are still coming your way, until we know they are no longer needed....which is never. Hugs to you both
