The Kitchen Table

Home from Hospital

15 years ago

In case you don't remember, my DH Vic has MS for years, had a worsening around New Years, had several seizures, went to hospital, in ICU, then sent to Rehab Hospital for 20 days. Yesterday he came home, we're both so happy. He was provided with a wheelchair and a commode for at home, today a nurse is coming to evaluate him for therapy at home. Hope he gets LOTS of therapy.

That's wonderful for both of you! I hope he will be able to get both occupational and physical therapy, and that he will be able to walk again soon.

Please keep us posted on his progress! Hugs!

Well we had to go back up for more blood work and another nonstress test. My arms look terrible from all the blood draws this last week. My blood pressure was up and was having sharp abdominal pains so got sent to the hospital. Dr. said that I was on bed rest until the baby comes which could mean another 3 weeks and we are talking total bed rest. I have decided and Dr. agreed that the stress on the baby and me isn't good for either of our health and will do the amnio on Friday to see if the baby's lungs are ready to be delivered. So will go for non stress test and dr's visit on Thursday and do the amnio on Friday and possibly have the c-section on Monday or before. I am scared to death, I am not all that ready for the baby,it was such a surprise to find out that I was pregnant and now I could be a new mommy i just days. I have been having anxiety problems since last week and it is getting worse which agrivates my blood pressure and then I get more anxious and it starts all over again. So think of me and pray for us, if we don't have the baby it will be a long 3 weeks without my 3 lovy kids and stuck in bed. Feeling a wee stressed Stacie

The nurse came today (Friday), did a quick physical exam and asked about a million questions. She was very kind, recommended six types of therapy/assistance for Vic. Physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, social worker, visiting nurse and -best of all- a home aide several times a week/a few hours at a time. And even better, he's classified "homebound" so they will all come to the house to treat him. Now to start scheduling six visitors-my dog is gonna be bananas!

So glad that he qualifies for all that extra help.

We went through something like that with my dad, and as soon as he got back home he improved so much faster -- I hope this will be the same with your hubby.
