Guest guest Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Laurie - I'm lifting up you, your husband, your whole family in my prayers right now. I pray for healing for , for wisdom for the doctors and nurses, and for comfort and peace for you both. Truly, patients have to be advocates for their own care in the hospitals nowadays. It can be so frustrating. Please keep us posted. Love and continued prayers, Melinda OT - Please pray for my husband TUE - went in the hospital the other day - we went in for those tests on his stomach (the light into it him asleep), we thought was going to be an in and out thing and back home - and they found he has a HUGE BLEEDING ulcer, and a MAJOR infection all down his esophagus, and his red blood cell count is way down, and his immune system is down! No pass go, straight to the hospital (then they let him sit in the admitting room for 3 hours waiting for a bed to open!) They said he will be in the hospital for approx 1-2 weeks, so far. Anyway - I came home for a few minutes to try to get a few things done - as I got 3 new web design clients this week! YEAH - that is money, that we need right now with more medical bills and him off work! but I need to get them done! ugh.....and I NEED to be at the hospital too! Anyway - so it may be AWHILE - I am running back out in a few - WED - He lost ALOT of blood yesterday, his count dropped from 30 - 25 in like 30 min, so they ordered him 2 pints of blood. At first he had a reaction with it - and started getting a rash and itching all over his body, they gave him benedril a couple times. Also his blood pressure shot way up, so they added him a 3rd type of blood pressure medicine on top of the other 2 he is already taking. It finally got normal after several hours last night. Today he was doing better, so I came home to sleep a little bit, I think I got about 3 hours sleep the last 2 days. He called a little while ago, and said he is throwing up now, freezing, and his blood pressure is WAY up again. So I will be going back up to the hospital later tonight again. SAT - A cardiologist came to see him to TALK to him about changing his blood pressure medicine, and said yes, he would talk about changing some things - NEVER went over WHAT to change or anything Well, last night before bed, we found out they decided to change his blood pressure med NOW, without telling him first, and they took him off the blood pressure meds he has been on that has worked for 15 years, and put him on something else, and it is NOT working, his bottom number alone is over 115! He has told the nurses to call the dr and I don't know if they are or not, but they are telling him they are NOT going to change it even though it is obviously not working! (One bad thing about the hospital, being at THEIR mercy! ugh) So he is more upset, because they SEE it is NOT working, and they are NOT doing anything about it, except allowing him to lay there and suffer for it. He said he feels so weird too, afraid he is going to have a stroke, because they are *trying* something out, and not fixing it when they see it is not working. I am not sure what to do.....please continue to pray....
