August 27, 201412 yr Author Barb didn't ring last night so I'm taking no news as good news. Will ring her after 9:30am and see what's what.
August 27, 201412 yr Author Just rang Barb, good news! No bleeding on the brain so Del has not had a stroke. They are of the thinking that the fluids and strong medication he has had have caused this. Barb agrees as his family doctor never gives him strong antibiotics due to it knocking his kidneys out. So...good news on that score. He has been given medication to flush out the fluid retentation and take the swelling down. The camera on the lungs has been cancelled today while they concentrate on sorting this current issue out. He's in good hands, so that's something at least. We obviously all feel relieved and less stressy now.
August 27, 201412 yr Awh that's great news hun, delighted for Del, at least that's a bit of a weight lifted off your shoulders. Wishing him a speedy recovery the poor oul fella xxx
August 27, 201412 yr Author Awh that's great news hun, delighted for Del, at least that's a bit of a weight lifted off your shoulders. Wishing him a speedy recovery the poor oul fella xxx Thank you Sue. Hopefully today is a great day, a day where the retained fluid starts to leave his body.
August 27, 201412 yr Retained fluid is uncomfortable enough as it is so hopefully they can get that gone and find what the actual problem is. Pleased it's not a stroke and that's ruled out, weight off the mind I'm sure. ((sharon)), keeping you in my thoughts my friend, being strong is the toughest job. xx
August 27, 201412 yr Sorry I'm late sweetheart, Great news to hear it wasn't a stroke..... He is in wonderful hands,and I'm sure they will get it sorted as quick as possible..... Love to del......he's a fighter......xx
August 28, 201412 yr Author Thanks guys, he is a fighter- that's for sure! Good news today is that he is stable. The swelling has stopped and it's just a case of a waiting game for the fluid to leave. His heart is being constantly checked so they are covering all bases. I honestly can sleep at night knowing he really is in good hands. Barb sounded more peaceful when we spoke last night (we don't live near any family) and I could tell from her voice that Del had an ok day. Slept very soundly last night. Thanks again guys, it really does help having somewhere to get it off my chest, and your support for Del Boy is just amazing!
August 28, 201412 yr This is wonderful news.... One day at a time for del too......he'll get stronger every day.... Hugs xx
August 29, 201412 yr Author I have fabulous news! Yesterday Del was fit enough to walk Barb to the end of the ward and kiss her goodbye,just brilliant. The doctors are happy with his progress and have promised to get to the bottom of what keeps knocking his body 'out of whack' I feel light as a feather now the worry has gone so am going to get in my garage and crack on with my painting furniture hobby. Thank you ever so much everyone for all your support and well wishes, it has made me feel better to be able to voice my feelings and fears, to get them off my chest. Off to enjoy myself and get my paint brushes out.....
August 29, 201412 yr Pleased to hear this Sharon. Go gently on yourself for a couple of days and fantastic idea to replenish your spirit by doing something you love :) Happy painting. xx
August 29, 201412 yr Sooo happy to hear this, make sure and have yourself a nice relaxing weekend with lots of alcohol and yummy food because you my friend deserve it soo much xxxx I wonder is any if his tablets he's on causing it.
August 30, 201412 yr Author He's home! OMG, he is home and it is brilliant! It seems the tablets treating the pneumonia knocked him out, as Barb had thought. So, it seems that as a day patient he will be having appointments to fully investigate his kidneys- that is where the trouble lies, so they think. So made up that he's home as you can imagine. Just thought it good manners to pop on and tell you...oh, and since we last spoke I did that flipping ice bucket challenge...lol
August 30, 201412 yr Aww sweetheart, This is excellent news.....such a relief for you all.... I send hin my good wishes.....and speedy recovery.... Hugs to you all xx
September 3, 201412 yr Author Guys...he got rushed back in hospital Monday night. It has been an horrific few days! Phone went at 1:30am last night, he was in a bad way and had , had 3 siezures. Seemingly, for the last 6 weeks Del has had blood poisoning (ecoli in his blood stream) hence the heart issues, the pneumonia, the black bruises from the low white blood cells. It is a wonder it didn't kill him to be honest! Have just got home and he is stable, heavily sedated but stable. He has had an injection to sort his heart out again and is obviously now on a drip with the medication going through that will hopefully kill the poison. Already I could see his colour coming back in his cheeks. So...hopefully now he will actually get better as they know what they are treating, finally! Just wanted to fill you all in as you have been so lovely and supportive. Will get back on here properly once I am of calm mind that he is 100% in the clear. Take care, keep well and cherish your good health xx
September 3, 201412 yr awww sharon get some rest hun you need your strength too ((hugs)) hopefully now he will be on the mend bless him xx
