Hi Alison,
My god I wasnt aware and after reading this thread I am amazed your still standing yourself. You are doing a wonderful job. You should be really proud.
One thing I have noticed working within the health industry you pick a few things and I even start to question doctors theories. At the end of the day not only are you a nurse, but you also know your husband. You know whether he was fit or not. Sometimes these doctors dont listen to relatives. I see it all the time. Sending a poor elderly women home who has dementia. The relatives say it isnt her and she is confused. They still send her home, because she passed a mini mental score
Anyway enough of that.
All I wanted to say was your doing a great job. You know your husband very well. Dont let the doctors think they always know best. Its obvious they dont.
Big hugs
