Home at Last!
Well, I was afraid to post the good news too soon, but after 4 plus days I can say that my husband, Bernie, came home from the hospital on Tuesday and he's still here! He's doing well and with medication the blood pressure seems to be under control. He actually went out for an excursion to COSTCO with me today and then to Sears to visit some of his old work mates. He tires easily but he was absolutely thrilled to be 'out and about' after the best part of two months of hospitalization. The infection that caused the whole problem in the first place is well on the mend and he has a consult on Tuesday with the surgeon to get her opinion. He can't re-start the chemo until the abscess is completely healed or it could cause major problems. So, we're still hoping and praying that it's just about healed since he's been off the chemo for about six weeks. Not that I'm looking forward to his going through the chemo again but we can't let that nasty 'blob' in his tummy get active again. Fingers crossed and hoping and praying that he's on the way to fighting again.
I have to acknowledge a group of ladies who are, beyond doubt, the best there is:cyclonejuliet ,sheffers81 ,grandma_kate andgirlyswot. Bern and I got the sweetest get well card from them that made its way to us via three continents. And as they know, it arrived a couple of days later than expected but it arrived on exactly the day I needed my friends to help me cope with waiting for some news about Bern. You ladies rock!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love you all!
