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.


No matter what I do...it's a fail

Jun 20 2012
Ok...so the key to no vomiting and nausea is back to the original lactulose formula.  However, no matter how much I pump in him, no bowel movements and the HE is gradually worse.  I cannot livein the same room at all time, without ever closing my eyes, to wait and see what will happen.  Close my eyes just a few minutes this afternoon, and he's back in the floor.  I do not know what to do.  Also, gave him the megace today. He asked for steak and eggs for breakfast.  Thus far, not wanting anything to eat for lunch.  Just got blessed out because he needs a drink as I won't pay attention to him and never notice him when he needs anything.  I have no idea what to do anymore.  Do not know how long this is going on and how long I can last.  Afraid even to take a shower without getting Jazz into the room.  What will happen when she heads back to school and I am here alone?
