unsinkable Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 :party: :grouphug: :party: You all have all my prayers and good thoughts. I'm so happy that your DH will be getting his liver and feeling better soon. God bless him and you and your DS as he goes through this! Surgery waiting room time absolutely stinks. It seems to move backwards. Take some small walks in the waiting room area. Deep breaths, relaxation exercises. :grouphug: I'm sending prayers and good thoughts for the wonderful person who decided to be a donor and his/her family during this difficult time for them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasider Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Wow if you were close I'd bring you a jigsaw puzzle and work on it with you while you wait. The waiting is so hard. I am so happy for your dh that a liver has become available, may God bless and comfort the family of the donor. My thoughts and prayers are with you, your son, and with your husband, that his body readily accepts this new part. Please keep us posted as you are able. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catwoman Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 Thank you!!! :grouphug: Oh. My. Gosh. You have been such a pillar of strength for this entire board for literally, YEARS! Prayers and best wishes for a smooth and successful procedure and a speedy and uneventful recovery! As a nurse, may I gently remind you to take care of yourselves as well. Hydration is your friend! Don't forget to eat...even a small snack at fairly regular intervals even if you don't "feel" hungry. As caregivers, you also need your strength! What a blessing this is for your family. :) Thanks so much, Jenn -- you're so sweet! I appreciate the reminder to eat and drink. I tend to forget to do that, but I do have some snacks and a drink with me so I'm going to have a little something right now while I'm thinking about it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brehon Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Cat, HUGE hugs to you and your ds as you wait. We'll pray for you and your family and remember y'all tomorrow at Mass (if that doesn't offend you). I second JennL's advice to drink lots of water and eat little bits throughout the day. You can best help your dh & ds by putting your oxygen mask on. (((Cat, ds, dh))) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catwoman Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 Praying for your dh, Cat, as well as for you and ds as you wait. :grouphug: :grouphug: I think that's probably the kind of surgery that you aren't quite ready for no matter how anxiously you have been waiting for it. Praying for peace for your anxious hearts, healing and success with the surgery, and wisdom for the medical team(s). Thank you, Jaybee! That's exactly how we were all feeling when we got the call that a liver was available. We knew he needed the liver, but we were also scared about the big surgery and praying that everything would be all right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
