Joyce,

Bruce will be in my prayers. I would feel the same way about my ex-husband. He is still my son's father and I would not want him to suffer so.

C Diff is a nasty bug, I'm praying they can get it under control quickly.

Joyce ,sorry to hear about your ex. I had posted before that my brother in law has ALS. He is only 47 and has now been put in a nursing home here in illinois. He is vented and they cannot wean him. He believes he is going home someday and my sister doesn't want him to know the truth. He cannot move any part of his body and it scares him so much. He is on a feeding tuble and cannot swallow.Everyday is torture to him. I fully understand what your family is going thrrough and am truly sorry. What is C-Diff ? I never heard of it. I have sent him up relaxsation tapes that a nurse puts on and alot of movies but he misses home that is will to life is leaving. Sorry for whats going on and boy can I relate

Definitely thinking of him, of you and of your children. C-Diff is a

major problem in many hospitals. All forms of staph infection are more

rampant than they make us aware too and in some of the better hospitals.

It mainly gets publicized when athletes get surgery with Cleveland

Clinic getting the most publicity. I'm sorry he ran into the

complications and hope he is able to work through it.

C-Diff

Clostridium difficile, often called C. difficile or " C. diff, " is a

bacterium that can cause symptoms ranging from diarrhea to

life-threatening inflammation of the colon. Illness from C. difficile

most commonly affects older adults in hospitals or in long term care

facilities and typically occurs after use of antibiotic medications.

In recent years, C. difficile infections have become more frequent, more

severe and more difficult to treat. Each year, tens of thousands of

people in the United States get sick from C. difficile, including some

otherwise healthy people who aren't hospitalized or taking antibiotics.

Mild illness caused by C. difficile may get better if you stop taking

antibiotics. More severe symptoms require treatment with a different

antibiotic.

sharon

i know we have discussed this before

bruce also has a vent and a feeding tube

he knew before getting the vent and feeding tube that they would be permanent

he is able to live at home because they are able to have someone live with them who takes care of him

and there is someone who comes in the morning to help get him out of bed for the day and someone who comes at night who helps get him ready for bed

the rest of the day is spent in a wheelchair

i think he can move one finger, because he has this machine on the wheelchair tray that will make a loud noise if he needs something or wants to participate in the conversation

he is unable to talk, in fact, they cut the vocal cords when they did the trach, [i don't know why they cut the vocal cords], this is why he has no voice, cannot moan or make any kind of noise

he watches TV a good portion of day, in fact, he bought a super duper tv when he got sick and moved to a 55 plus community to prepare for when he wouldn't be able to do anything

a couple of years ago, they got a special computer for him that he works with his eyes

his wife would not be able to care for him by herself, even though she learned how to use all of the equipment, but she has help

being a vet, the VA helps with some of the expenses plus he is a physician, so i guess he is using his savings

with ALS, there is no 2 year wait for medicare when they go on ssdi, so that made things financially easier too

he was born in 1944, he was diagnosed about 10 years ago

my kids do worry about the possibility of the wife putting him into a nursing home, but she is able to keep him at home, and they really appreciate the care that she gives him

a couple of years ago they treated her to a massage, my 2 girls and his wife spent a day at a spa or maybe they brought the spa to the house

he does have someone come in maybe twice a week for a massage

anyway, C-diff is an intestinal bacteria that causes diarehea [spelling?], last year when i had the stomach flu, they tested me for C-diff, that's the first time i heard of it

he looks forward to when the kids visit and there is always company in the house so he gets to see lots of people

he has been a good role model for me in his desire to do whatever it takes to keep living

My sister wishes she could bring him home, but she can't afford it. I send him updated pictures and my two boys go and see him and others in the family do too. Iam bidding on a small used webcam notebook on ebay so he can talk to his son and i think that will help.

wasn't sure if i would request this because he is my ex, but he is the father of my children

most of you know about the ALS

last week he was admitted to the hospital with high fever, urinary tract infection, put on antibiotics,

last night, Jill, our daughter, told me that while in hospital, he got C-Diff, still high fever, more antibiotics

Jill is very upset, she has seen him a few times, but afraid to go because of her pregnancy

plus it is very upsetting to see him like this

the man who lives with him to take take of him has been sleeping at the hospital every day, taking care of him round the clock

earlier in the week, there was an article on one of the news shows about people getting C-diff while in the hospital

I really feel bad for him

C-DiffClostridium difficile, often called C. difficile or "C. diff," is abacterium that can cause symptoms ranging from diarrhea tolife-threatening inflammation of the colon. Illness from C. difficilemost commonly affects older adults in hospitals or in long term carefacilities and typically occurs after use of antibiotic medications.In recent years, C. difficile infections have become more frequent, moresevere and more difficult to treat. Each year, tens of thousands ofpeople in the United States get sick from C. difficile, including someotherwise healthy people who aren't hospitalized or taking antibiotics.Mild illness caused by C. difficile may get better if you stop takingantibiotics. More severe symptoms require treatment with a differentantibiotic.>>> From: Joyce T Rosenberg pinkrockybeach@ ...> Subject: prayers needed for my ex> To: breathe-support@ yahoogroups. com> Date: Friday, January 8, 2010, 7:43 AM>>> Â>>>>>>>>> wasn't sure if i would request this because he is my ex, but he is thefather of my children> Â> most of you know about the ALS> Â> last week he was admitted to the hospital with high fever, urinarytract infection, put on antibiotics,Â> Â> last night, Jill, our daughter, told me that while in hospital, he gotC-Diff, still high fever, more antibiotics> Â> Jill is very upset, she has seen him a few times, but afraid to gobecause of her

Joyce,

Sorry to hear about your ex. I know you wouldn't wish this on him, so keep him in your prayers as I will do also.

My sister wishes she could bring him home, but she can't afford it. I send him updated pictures and my two boys go and see him and others in the family do too. Iam bidding on a small used webcam notebook on ebay so he can talk to his son and i think that will help.
