C.Ann, everyone here, especially Deb in IA, said it all!

Continued prayers for you & DH! {{HUGS}} and Please, eat something and get some rest!

 

[catsrule]

C.Ann....I don't know what to say to you during this difficult time. You are under soooo much stress. Could they have a nurse come out and help you? Some kind of at home nursing care? Just want to wish the best for you and your DH. Please take care, wish you could get some help at home and some support at home.

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}}

I've been praying for you for the last few days!!
and I will continue

 

[dianeschlicht]

All of the suggestions I was going to make have been suggested Be sure to check out ALL your options. The social workers and hospital staff will/should help you with that. I don't think you should attempt to do this on your own! Medicare, insurance or hospice should all be resources you can access. Of course, hospice would depend on what his diagnosis is.

(((((((((((((((((((((BIG HUGS)))))))))))))))))))))))))) and prayers for both of you.

It's been said already!

You need to ask for help.

{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}} C.Ann.

I can only hope this improves real soon.

Enveloping you in HUGE cyber hugs, C. Ann.

I don't know what else to say. Follow some of the advice you got here. My heart aches for you, and you will remain in my prayers.

 

[Big V]

I'm still keeping you and your DH in my thoughts and prayers. I will also pray that someone comes to help you out, you cannot do this alone!

 

[Lars624]

I know that I don't know you but I've been following your story and I really feeel for you. I just wish that there was something thta could be said or done to relieve some of the pressures on you right now. As far as your living room furniture goes couldn't your SIL move it to one of those storage unit things if no one has room to keep it? I'm not sure the cost for one but my sister had to use one for 1 year while building her new house so they can't be too expensive.
There should be someone available to you either through the hospital or possibly your community that can assist & advise you in caring for your DH. They can't expect that you just know what to do w/o any help. I'm sending all good thoughts and prayers for you & your DH. Take care of yourself too, or you won't be able to help him.

 

[Dizzy-Disney4]

C. Ann, I'm so sorry. I haven't been paying attention to your situation and I just went back to read all of your past posts from this week.
I have no advice, but wanted to let you know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your DH.{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}

 

[helenabear]

C.Ann, so much good advice has already been given. If you can't do it ask for help!! As all of this is going on, don't forget to take care of yourself as well. Prayers for you and your DH {{{{hugs}}}}

 

[Mamu]

CAnn I do not know what to say every word you've typed I've lived. I know how overwhelming all this can be. From Your post it doesn't sound like you have a supportive family, this is very sad, I do not know what I would have done without mine. I'm praying that the family can overcome it's differences and come together, you are going to need all the support and help you can get. There are agencies that help, seek them out you cannot do this alone.

Be strong, dig deep the strength is there, you are all in my prayers. If you need to talk PM me.

I'm with eros on this one...how can they send him from ICU home. There has to be an alternative, a temporary one, but an alternative just the same. Hoping today you get some answers.

 

[Breezy_Carol]

C. Ann, {{{{{hugs}}}}} to you.

I work in home health care and agree with Deb in IA and Eros. A social worker at the hospital should be making the discharge arrangements and plan for you. That is their job. And when I worked in a hospital the joke was that no one goes home from ICU. They always "stepped down" before leaving. Your DH sounds like he should be receiving home health services. He is exactly the kind of patient we serve.

Good luck to you.

(Where in the country do you live?)

 

[ripleysmom]

C. Ann, hopefully after a good night's sleep you're feeling better.

It sounds like DH has taken a turn for the worst. I am so sorry

Sending a hug your way!!

 

[CarolG]

C.Ann, I don't have anything to add to the suggestions that have already been posted. I just wanted you to know that I'm keeping you and your husband in my thoughts and prayers. Many, many {{{hugs}}}.

 

[DopeyRN]

Ann, I would be very surprised if they did not start you off with home health when you first get home. They will teach you all you need to know and I suspect it will not be as difficult as you are fearing now.

I am a little confused about his diagnosis/prognosis. Are they saying he has heart failure? Is he a candidate for a transplant? Or are they saying there is nothing more they can do for him?

Ann you continue to be in my prayers.
