My Husband Is Really Ill (Liver Failure) [edited title]

Thanks everyone for the well wishes and prayers. Things are still a little touch and go here, as we have no idea why he keeps losing blood. This morning they’ll start his fifth unit and he’s gotten scheduled to have the bone marrow biopsy Monday.

That’s all I know for now. Thank you all again for being there for us. We really do appreciate it.

Y’all are in my prayers Kemi. :frowning:

My dear friend, Kemi! I am sorry I am just now seeing this and want to add mine and Dondra’s well-wishes, prayers and vibes to you and your Jaceson! You know how to contact me off-Dope, so if you need anything at all, we’re right here for you! Phone number is on the way to you!

Y’all hang in there and be strong for each other.

Bill & Dondra

I don’t know what I can say ff-just want to express my support.

My uncle had liver failure and was supposed to not live but a few months. He quit drinking and smoking, and his partner took up doing some nursing stuff for him, and he’s still kicking 2 years later, and it doesn’t seem like he’s going to go at all.

And he had been drunk 24/7 to hide from the pain of the diabetes he wouldn’t get treated. My other uncle helped him there, too, forcing him on a diet.

So sorry about this situation! I’ve signed up to donate blood next weekend in your husband’s honor. Unfortunately I can’t help him, but I can help someone else, right?

Please take care of yourself.

Thinking of you.

Keeping you and your husband in my thoughts.

Well, they only gave him 5 units and then kept him a bit extra for observation. But they let him go last night, I’m just sorry I didn’t get to update y’all sooner. Unfortunately though, he hasn’t been feeling that well after all and I’ve been busy with taking care of him. They still don’t know for sure, but they assume it’s the spleen (which I think I’ve mentioned before, way back in the beginning). Hopefully, we’ll know more tomorrow.

You guys are my rock. Your posts have made me cry from all the thoughtfulness. And I’ll do my best to get back to everyone that has PM’d within the week. I just now found some older ones that I’d missed. My apologies. :frowning: Now I think I’ve rambled on enough. Please keep the good thoughts and prayers coming. They are much appreciated.

Still thinking of you, faithfool. Hang in there.

Please don’t worry about us! We like to be updated, but your main focus should be on your husband, and not feeling obligated to us.

Extra prayers sent to you and your family. Don’t forget to take care of yourself, too! Stay strong.

Good vibes from me and my crew here at The Farm to your husband and to you [hugs].

Thinking of you faithfool and offering prayers for your husband’s recovery. Take care of yourself too.

We’re fine. You concentrate on him and you, okay?

More good thoughts and prayers, coming up!

Add me to the list of well-wishers and good-thought-senders. {{{{{faithfool}}}}}

{{{Faithfool}}} I’m sorry to hear y’all are going through all this.

He’s having the test done now. They won’t have the results back though for two weeks. I will update when he’s through.

The biopsy went well and he said there was less pain than expected. Thank you all for your support. I love you guys.

I’m glad to hear it was less painful than expected, but I’m sorry the results will take so long.

Lots of hugs & hope from over here. And listen to WhyNot about concentrating on you two. She’s always got good advice.

Also, feel free to ramble on, or not, as you wish. We’re here for both of you.

Just back from a few days out of town…popping in to keep up the good wishes…
