The support & information I receive here give me the courage to stand up for my needs in social situations, as well as the techniques & references to help my friends & family understand this Invisible Chronic Illness."

My Hunny Bunny

This diary is my sanity as my husband has been in the hospital for approximately 25 days and was just diagnosed with cirrhosis. We have been through hell and back and I do mean we as the caregiver is just exhausted as the patient. Any way....today is the day he should go home. Truthfully, he probably is not strong enough to be home, but I do not think he'll get much better until he is at home. He has signed his advanced directive and DNR as he does NOT want to ever come back to a hospital. With God's grace, he'll have a reasonable quality of life.


Got to stand firm

Jim's HE is spiraling out of control.  I literally chased him around the room yesterday, trying to get him to realize he's a fall risk.  He desparately wanted to sit in the little child's rocker.  Yeah....he might be that tiny but good chance he'd hit the floor.  The hiccups have been driving me crazy!  Do not know about him.   He needs his ammonia level checked but seriously....what will that do other than prove his in an episode?  Need to be strong and insistent tomorrow.  Insistent Dr. Jackson lowers his pain patch.  With every patch, he's slid further into this crazy spin called HE.  But....with the ability to move like he's moving, there is no reason he can't lower the patch.  I'm well into the fourth season of Brothers and Sisters.  Started this late Sunday evening and have done nothing this week but take care of my hunny bunny and of course, watch Brothers and Sisters.  Jazz woke me up last night/early this morning at 5:40 am.  He was asking for me.  I went to bed last night, it was after 3:30.  Off and on again until 9:30.  Thought I'd take a shower but he started stirring again.  Hoping I can go to 6:00 service.  I need my gospel hour!  (smiles)  I wanted Jazz to have a few days away but guess I need her here tomorrow evening while I have church small group.  Jill is flying home on August 17...the day we take Jazz to Radford!  The good thing is....with the way he is moving, he CAN make the drive.  Jill might have to drive the jeep which is maybe not the best thing.  Need someone that can ride up with us and back to help her drive/be in the jeep so she isn't driving home alone.  Any way.....things are much more positive this morning than yesterday.  God's watching out for us both.  Just took some down time for me to realize in all his craziness, he is better!  I hate calling doctors but it's ok....I'll find my strength.  I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.  Phil 4:13
