Need More Prayers for my DH

15 years ago

First, let me thank you all for the support that you have given this past week. Now my DH, Tom, needs your prayers again. He has been in a coma since Sunday morning. They did surgery Sunday afternoon for a sub-dural hematoma that resulted from his fall last week. I have been at the hospital since Sunday morning. I finally ran home to get cleaned up and change clothes. I don't know when I will be able to update, but assume that no news is good news.

Thanks once again,

Linda

Ida Flynn's DH, Damond, needs our prayers..
Q
Comments (24)
He was admitted to the hospital yesterday for bleeding. He's not doing too good folks. Please keep them both in your prayers. Here's part of an email I got from Ida tonight: (Damond was admitted into the hospital at Winfield yesterday after he passed out in the driveway while Mike (ex son-in-law) and I were trying to get him to the truck to get him to the ER. We called 911 and got an ambulance. He is bleeding and would not have lasted long at home. He has received 7 units of blood and 2 bags of frozen plazma trying to get his blood thick enough so his blood count will rise. He's losing it about as fast as it's going in. Things do not look good for him, but Dr Spruiell thinks the bleeding is under the skin in his stomach and is caused from all the blood thinners he was on. Just wanted you to know what is going on. Keep us in your prayers... Ida) Thought those of you who know and love the Flynns as I do would like to know. Thanks, Jan

Thank you all again. It's good to come here, as I mentioned on another post to 'escape'. Also to 'feel' the caring support from all of you. Update as of today...Dad needs a transfusion. It seems there is blood loss within the bone. His blood count has dropped, but I was told that in the elderly it's not uncommon. The problem is he's refusing it. We are trying to convince him it's for his own good if he wants to get better and go home. Tomorrow he'll make his decision. OA..you're right - nothing happens in the order we expect. Punk.. 'Looking up and asking for help' certainly does help get you through most situations. Kathleen...I remember you mentioning losing your Dad at a young age.. I thought how strong you mother was raising you and your sisters alone. As far as 'bittersweet' feelings on Christmas...I can totally relate to that. We lost DH's Mom on Christmas - his Dad on Easter..a Sister on Memorial Day, and now our Neice on Mother's Day.. As hard as it may be, it's so important for us to look forward and find the good in each day and make the most of it. janet1...I will keep your DGD in my prayers..and will look forward to you sharing all the 'Good News' about your new GGD. jan..thanks for all the helpful information. You brought up lots of good points on what to do once he's in rehab. Pictures, food and an Afghan are wonderful ideas. I just hope he accepts going to rehab eaisly..and that he agrees to one close enough to make the visits easy. You can see, with his personality...I can only 'suggest' it...lol He's the one in charge!! jane

Thoughts and prayers needed for DH, serious health issues (long

Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers. Well it is Sunday and we got through the reunion all right. Actually it went great. We had 12 classmates out of 42 show up and 25 little kids. My folks rushed home and were there late Friday night and the girls stayed at my sisters that night. My folks put up 2 pools and also got one of those giant little tykes water slides that inflate. People showed up around 1:30 and stayed until after 8. We all had so much fun, 2 of my sisters came over and helped out with the kids, they had fun on the water slide and pools, my dad got one of the horses out and they had pony rides, he also had his full sized popcorn maker going and they ate tons of popcorn and we also had popsicles and watermelon to cool off. I made too much food as usual and my mil made several salads, we just grilled out hotdogs and had a lot of fun. Those that wanted to had brought beer so we just sat around talking about the high school days and comaparing current notes. I can tell you it was a blast and took my mind off dh. He did come down and had fun too. We go see the surgeon on Tuesday and see what he has to say. I think he is planning on doing more tests and another CT scan. They got his pain under control. They think that it was a combo of the gall stones and they discovered an infection in his intestinal area so put him on iv antibiotics. His blood sugar has really dropped since Friday and we are working on getting it under control. The Dr. thinks that the gall stones and infection brought out the diabetes. She is positive about it and that with diet, exercise, cutting out sugar and oral meds that we can get things under control. They won't do anything about the gallsones and hernia until the diabetes is under control. All in all it really has been a long week but in a way I am glad that it happened. DH hasn't had a physical in 11 years and is overweight. While there I asked Dr. to do a full work up on him and am curious to see what his cholestoral is. The hardest thing is that he really isn't a fruit or veggie person. I am sure you know that between the kids and I most of our diet is veggies and fruits and meat is a side dish. Right now his blood sugar has been staying around 180 which is in the high range of what the diabetes consultant wants but is way better than what it was before. Now to try and catch up on my sleep, we are also in the processes of moving the girls and Hayden down stairs and had carpet put down on Friday so the house has stuff every where. My mom is going to come up on Tuesday and stay a couple of days to help me catch up. With me being pregnant and Dan's hernia the furniture moving will have to wait until we get some family to come up and help move things around our 2 story house. Again thanks for the support and love, Stacie girlsingardens

I've read this topic several times and couldn't come up with anything to say. I have two sons so I can imagine the pain and I can't even go there. Lynne, do you or any other family members live close to your brother to stick by him physically for awhile? Holley, bless your heart. You & Lynne will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I haven't stopped thinking and praying for you, I guess because I have two small fur babies also. But I will certainly pray for your husband diligently.

And, I hate mentioning this, but ditto to Jessy- get a lawyer pronto!

I agree on the lawyer, they'd be lining up to take this case, and be sure to find a good one.

I can't believe all you've gone through. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your DH. I'm hoping that his coma is medically induced to help him rest and heal and you post some good news soon.

What a terrible shock.
