Guest guest Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Hi everyone, I just got off the phone with , wow, she has been through a lot in making sure that Rick is doing good.. He ended up back in the ICU because they were not giving him lactulose, so they had to do that via enema because he was unconscious.. then he started swelling and found out that they were not giving him his regular doses of Lasix and Spironalactone so he was swelling.. but he is now out of ICU and is doing better and if all goes well, his doc feels that he will be able to be released either tomorrow or thurs and then is taking him to Tampa immediately and not taking him home.. She says that home is too toxic for him right now because he gets overwrought trying to finish up all the things HE THINKS he has to do before transplant.. So she is taking him to Tampa, putting them in a hotel for a couple of days. she has found a fully rented apt that she will be looking at and renting if it is what she wants so they can be close to the tp hosp. I tell ya, everyone would be so lucky to have such a support person such as . Rick is very lucky. She is HIS ROCK! She said to tell everyone how much they both care about everyone of us and how much they truely appreciate our love, support and prayers. She will not let Rick hang out on the computer for awhile because he gets too wound up on it, lol,, but after they get settled in the apt that they will be living in until he gets his transplant, only then will she let him use one of their friends computers.. after he is more rested. What a great woman she is!!! Anyway, this is the update for now, Ill be calling her again in a day or so.. She asked us to wait until they get settled in the apartment before we send cards because he will probably get out of the hosp he is in tomorrow or the next day and any cards wouldnt get there before he leaves. So as soon as she has an address, she will let me know and we will flood them with cards! Love to you all from both Rick and and from me too.. this group is just the best! hugs jax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
