@heartathome praying that your partner improves greatly this week for you sweetheart. May God's love rain down on you both

My partner's update.

His daughter is now speaking to the doctor directly daily and updating instead of me. I have found it too overwhelming!.
So he had blood clots discovered a few days ago. Dr explained the blood clots would have broken down by now or are well on their way to doing so.
He said his lungs are getting stronger every day requiring less from the ventilation machine.

A new bacteria had grown in the tube that was draining the abdomen and she found out it is E. coli. Which is good because it’s treatable so they have changed antibiotics with guidance from the infectious diseases department. Which is procotol I suspect. So they don’t really know if the fevers were infection or from the antibiotics but hopefully it reduces his temperature now. The Dr also stated that his facial expressions are good but the lower thing /upper limb is not moving so much/ a tiny bit of the arms today.

The doctor was not surprised by that considering how sick he has been and how hard he is fighting just to get the infection out of his body. And his age is also a factor. He reinforced it will be a very long journey to get better.🙏

Hi @heartathome ,

I read your description and my mind boggles at the complexity of the medical situation. Modern medicine is amazing. May God continue to hold everyone involved. May God give everyone patience.

Hope you are doing okay. Sending you love and support.

Hey there @heartathome, how are you doing this afternoon, just read through all your updates on your partner. I can see how this would be so overwhelming, it really is a lot isn’t it. I hope you are able to schedule some rest for you too. Take care 🤗💜

Thanks for checking on me! 😊 I'm doing good and feeling strong considering. @Chasingsunsets I've been off medicinal smoko for two weeks now and haven't had any sedatives that my psych gave me for the last couple of days. I'm seeing my partner everyday and am too tired to go for my daily walks. It's also been raining for over a week as well! I catch a bus instead at 5.45 so I can go to the beach and have my coffee and to hopefully see a sunrise. I hope you're alright, my friend. Sending you hippy hugs and much love! 💚

Evening all

My partner had a great day today,

-got on a tilt table to 40 degrees with Physio and did some bending the knees and tolerated being upright for I think 15 mins which is great

- had staples and tubes out and new dressing for abdomen wound

- ⁠had 5 sessions off the ventilator doing really well

- ⁠moving arms but can’t yet lift them off the bed

- ⁠was more alert by the afternoon and responding in appropriate ways (no / yes with head).

- ⁠he does have some mouth sores

- ⁠it seems no one knows how to put his hearing aids in. I am sure dad will be able to help out soon enough!

- ⁠tomorrow speech therapist will come and put a valve in so he can try speaking. He will sound funny and his voice will be weak but it will be a start. They will check his oxygen levels while he does that to see how he tolerates.

- ⁠so he will keep building up like this with the goal to go to ward then rehab- with the main goal to get strong enough to get off the ventilator 💜

@heartathome lots of positive things have come from today, so happy to hear sweet.

How are you doing sweetheart? ❤️

I'm doing much better @MissGremlin and feeling stronger since my partner is improving. I'm too tired to go for my morning walks but catch a bus to the beach instead for my coffee and will hopefully catch a sunrise tomorrow. I've been seeing my partner everyday and it's wonderful to see things improving bit by bit!

I hope you're day has been okay! Sending love and light 💜

@heartathome glad to hear it sweet. It's ok that you've not been going for the morning walks, you're still getting out and it's amazing that you've been able to do that.

Sending lots of love and hugs sweetheart ❤️.
