I’m glad I came upon this thread. I’ve got a lot of good information from it. My stepmother is going through the same thing now, or actually quite a bit more severe. She entered the hospital three weeks ago with internal bleeding, which they thought was caused by excessive Ibuprofen that she had been taking for back pain. I visited last weekend and just couldn’t believe it. She looks decades older than her 58 years. Her abdomen is greatly swollen, her eyes are livid yellow, she’s in a perpetual daze, slurs her speech, and can’t even sit up in bed. Yet they’ve kicked her out of the hospital into a convalescent home saying that now she’s “stable” she just needs some time to rehabilitate.
I’ll drive up again this weekend and help my dad get going with some of the suggestions everyone has been putting up here. faithfool … my best wishes to you and your husband. Thank you for starting this thread. I hope we’ll both be the recipients of good news in the coming days and weeks.
I’m so sorry to hear about your stepmother Greg. I can’t imagine how difficult it would be dealing with it if it reaches the point she’s at. I’ll be keeping her in my prayers. I also hope we’re both recipients of better news soon. Thanks for posting.
Last night I saw this thread for the first time. Read it all the way through and was too overwhelmed to post a reply.
Just wanted to add that I’m rooting for you and Jaceson.
They are putting Jaceson back in the hospital today for severe blood loss again. And this was after his most recent doctor’s visit (yesterday) had gone well. The specialist said he’s lost so much, that if he’d had a wreck he could’ve died.
I’m really sorry that both of you have to go through this faithfool. I hope Jaceson is stabilized and recovers very quickly. Take good care of yourself too.
