:grouphug:  Cat.  don't worry about updating, taking care of yourself, and your son, are your first priorities.   we are all still here praying for your dh, and you and your son.  update when you are able - but we understand you have far more important  things demanding your time and energy than us.  we are here to support YOU. :grouphug:

[JennW in SoCal]

Awwww, sweetie!  For every post on here there are probably dozens more people thinking of you and sending a quick prayer for you, your dh and your son.

 

I've a friend who had a liver transplant 2 or 3 years ago now, and she is doing terrific. Those transplant teams are the best of the best and your dh is in the best mortal hands possible.  

[Sugarfoot]

Praying for stable levels all around and peace, comfort and rest for you all.

Thanks for the update, Cat!  And glad to hear it's mostly good.  Definitely sending prayers for all on the docket today and for healing.

 

I've also been wondering if you have enough help there... for things like your house, any pets, and all the usual day to day stuff.  Are there friends/family for support?  This is a time to let them feel useful.  ;)

 

And if not, there are Hive members everywhere. I feel fairly certain most of us wouldn't mind feeling useful too.   :coolgleamA:

 

Just some thoughts...

 

Most of all, REALLY glad to wake up this morning and see your update.

[Mama Geek]

More prayers and  :grouphug:

So grateful for an update, Cat, but be sure to get some rest, nutritious food and drink water. Same for DS. Many continuing thoughts and prayers going out to your family.

[Minerva]

Keeping you in my thoughts.

Hello Cat: I read your update in Post 466.   I will continue to pray, for your DH, and for the doctors and nurses and everyone who is helping him. Gentle virtual hugs are on the way from Colombia. 

[Joyofsixreboot]

:grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug:

 

Soooo relieved to hear from you!!!

 

As an ICU nurse, ICU is insane! For the patient, for the family, for the medical team!

 

Hydrate, dear girl. Eat, dear girl. Please try to rest, dear girl.

 

2 steps forward. 1 step back. Is the ICU Mantra.

 

Hugs and love from everyone.

 

Breathe....

This is excellent advice! Praying for your family.

[Pink and Green Mom]

Still thinking of you and your family.

[Caroline]

Hugs and good thoughts.

[RebeccaS]

I'm hanging out with my oldest dd who is currently hospitalized for uncontrolled diabetes. Trying to work out new dosages of insulin. I woke up early and couldn't sleep and thought of you. I'll continue to keep all in my prayers. I hope you and ds got some sleep last night.

[Kathy in Richmond]

I did not have a chance to check for updates until this morning. Spent yesterday with my in laws. If you need a laugh I can share some of my afternoon with you. My mil is truly a loving woman but she has a unique way of showing it.

 

I am still thinking of you and your family. I wish you a good news day.

[Alessandra]

Awwww, sweetie! For every post on here there are probably dozens more people thinking of you and sending a quick prayer for you, your dh and your son.

Nice post.

[Scarlett]

Cat I felt so relieved to read your update this morning.

 

Please remember to stay hydrated and eat at least a little protein and fruit. And sleep! You must get some sleep as soon as possible. I hope you have some support there with you at the hospital.

[ktgrok]

Oh, I'm so relieved! Praying for a better day today. But know that if they say they can fix it, they mean it. Try to get some rest...go to a hotel down the street with your son if you need to. Or at 15 I bet he could stay by himself for a few hours to get some sleep if you won't. 

 

But mostly, just tears of joy that you are okay, and will keep praying for you, your husband, your family, and the medical team. 

[Mavis]

Good thoughts to you and your family !

[Faithr]

Praying for your dh and for you!

[Catherine]

We are all pulling for him, Catwoman.  I'm also someone whose spent more time than I'd like in ICUs and I know "the agony and the ecstasy" rollercoaster of emotions when one has a critically ill loved one. Just do what you need to do to survive.  Sooner than you realize it will end and life will be more stable but it seems endless now I am sure.  Much love to all of you.

[Heatherwith4]

:grouphug: Thanks so much for the update! I wondered if you might have a dead phone battery. :) Praying for DH's body to balance out and for the procedure today to go as it should.

[littlebug42]

You remain in my thoughts and prayers.  I work at a hospital and it amazes me every day what doctors can accomplish and how they save lives.

[Kim in Appalachia]

:grouphug: Still praying for all of you.  :grouphug:

 

Thanks for the update.  I hope you are everything stabilizes and you are able to get some rest.  :grouphug:

continuing to pray for you and dh

[lispy]

So glad to see the update. I know it doesn't sound like wonderful news with it being your dh in there, but it sounds like the doctors are on top of things and feel like the issues can be resolved. Try to get rest. And food. Continuing to pray for your family.

[Laurie4b]

Thank you for updating us. You are going through so much. 

 

One of my favorite quotes from Narnia, "Courage, dearheart."  Hang in there!

 

Prayers.

Thinking of you and your family, Catwoman.

[ErinE]

Continuing to think of your DH, DS, and you. 

[Kalypso]

Still praying for all of you.  My family kept asking all day yesterday how your dh was doing. Take care of yourself and try to get some rest. :grouphug:

[ScoutTN]

Sending hugs to you and your Ds. Waiting is so hard.

Praying for a full recovery for your Dh and no more complications.

[Miss Mousie]

So glad to see the update!

 

How is your son doing?  My guess is that the two of you are great supports to each other - but situations like these are just so, so hard for all.

 

Sending lots more strength to all of you.

 

:grouphug:

[melmichigan]

Keeping you all in my thoughts today.  I hope your DH stabilizes quickly!   :grouphug:

[catz]

Hope things stabilize today. I know the first days after surgery can be harrowing. Take care of yourself. It's ok to take a break, feed yourself, breathe, rest.

Having someone in ICU can be an absolute rollercoaster emotionally. We're all thinking of you and your family. It sounds as though the doctors are on top of this problem. Take one issue at time. Try to get some rest if you can, both of you. (So easy to say, I know.) Do you have another adult with you for moral support? Best wishes always.

[Luckymama]

Thinking of all of you today :grouphug:
