Angelrose's Journey

[TnTsParty]

My thoughts and prayers are with you Angelrose. That is great news that your DH is improving. I was heartbroken to read your first post and have been following along. I am glad he is improving. Prayers for continued improvement until he is back home with you.

Praying your DH continues to improve.

Thanks for the updates. I'm so glad to hear that he is making progress. You are both still in my prayers. Slow but steady wins the race!!

Dearest AngelRose,

Please know that I am praying for you and your DH. I can testify that there have been things I have gone through where I couldn't pray any words at all I was so overwhelmed, all I could do was weep. But I am confident that the Father does know our heart, He knows what we have need of before we ever ask. I wanted to share a couple of verses that have always been a huge comfort to me.

Psalms 9:9 & 10 - The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.

Proverbs 18:10 - The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.

May God give you peace and comfort.
Cristy

I am so happy to hear he is doing better!!! I love the thought of you two holding hands, you are his strength.

I know how you feel about the shaving, even after my father had open heart surgery the nurse shaved him the first day - it makes them feel so much better.

Please, as others have said, remember to take care of YOU. It is so important that you continue to be strong for him. God Bless!

I'm so glad he had a good day yesterday! I'm praying he continues to improve, and you will be holding him in your arms soon!

What a great update. I am so glad he is doing better. We will continue to pray for you and Ron.

Glad to hear he is okay. How are you?

And happy early anniversary!

I'm crying like a baby reading your update...

My mom squeezing my hand was the first sign that she was coming out of the coma!! She woke up not long after that.

I pray for you everyday, Angelrose... I hope you have that amazing breakthrough soon!!

 

[Angelrose]

He opened his eye for me around noon when I came to see him. He still can't open the other one yet. He kept it open for a while too. The nurse said he squeezed her hand when she asked and then asked him to squeeze it if he was in pain and he didn't. But that is the end of the good news. He didn't squeeze my hand all day. The social worked told me that we need to find a rehab center for him in the next few days. The Moss rehab center that I was hoping to get him in won't accept him. He's not that well yet. He has to have his eyes open and follow commands consistently. He doesn't do that yet.

Medicare will only cover 100% for about 10 days, then my insurance kicks in to cover the remainder for 20 to 100 days. After that we have to apply for Medicaid. They will take most of the money in his account and half of mine, even though it is only in my name. I've heard that they can't take my home especially because it is in my name only. Ron did that many years ago to protect me. He is always thinking of protecting me. My sweet, sweet man.

I feel so bad because what is happening to him right now is his worst nightmare. The thought of him with tubes and not being able to live a good life was something he dreaded. Now it has happened. I know I've got to keep a positive outlook, but it is so hard. My whole family is trying to help me. My cousin is going to give me the names of a couple of lawyers that deal with Medicaid issues like this. My son and daughter in law are doing everything they can for me. We are all exhausted. They are making me take a day off on Sunday to rest and do some shopping for necessities. Then we will go back to their house and they will make me dinner. I hate to leave him all alone for a day, but I am so tired. It's been two weeks of hell.

I read to him this morning. Then I let him listen to his ragtime music for a couple of hours. I hope he is hearing it all. The nurses all marvel at how great his skin is and in what great shape his body is in even now. Everyone of the nurses say he coughs really well and gets the nasties out of his lungs. I just hope he can get into a good rehab center this week.

Sorry this is so long. You DISers are my rocks! I look forward every night to read your posts and encouragement.

Thank you liveforchristp1 for those verses. It brings me comfort.

So sorry for what you are going through, Angelrose..... I can imagine the roller coaster of feelings you go through many times a day. Hang in there.... find the advocates you need to get you and Ron through this.

Take the day off on Sunday.... I guarantee Ron will understand!!

I've said it before and I'll say it again... Take care of YOU!

I have this feeling that he is going to live a good life, and I bet he is out of there before 100 days.

Hang in their Angelrose, we are all praying for your DH to make a speedy recovery!

 

[minniecarousel]

You must believe that this is a temporary condition. He will improve. He will need rehab for a period of time, but he will go home! Keep those thoughts.

Hang in there.

[Minnie&Nana]

Dear Angelrose, thank you so much for taking the time to update us. I look forward to seeing how Ron is doing each morning. This is a 2 step forward, 1 step back situation, but we all believe, pray 7 hope he will continue to improve.

Do take gentle care of yourself.

Holding you both ever so near in heart and prayer.

 

[reelmom]

Angelrose,

If you would like to post the address of the hospital or rehab center, I'm sure that there are a lot of Diser's that would send him some cards. That may help encourage him that there are a lot of people praying for your family.

Nice idea.
