UPDATE #8       02/12/07 01:01 PM Edit Reply Quote Shell Marr Reged: 08/04/03 Posts: 14959 Loc: Seattle, WA USA Oh my goodness.... I don't even know where to start......so excuss the rambling! The healing from the tracheotomy is taking longer then expected.... he is in a lot of pain from being in that bed 24/7..... he has cellulitis on his stomach.... he was given an antibiotic for it that then caused an allergic reaction and he is literally covered from head to toe in rashes that itch like crazy!! The opening from the tracheotomy is still bleeding and they are not sure how long it will be before then can try to give him another swallow test to see if it is working right so he can start talking again. Anyway, when I got there Sun..... he was having dialysis and when this is happening, the morphine and benadryl are being filtered out as well when the blood is being cleaned, so he was in a lot of pain. And.... the freaky part..... he thinks everyone at the hospital is truly trying to kill him..... his mental state is really messed up due to the toxins in his body. He is on a feeding tube in his nose..... he was on one, but it "came out" Sat afternoon.....they put another one in, but when I came back to see him Sun...they still were NOT using it.... said they could not tell in the X-ray if it was in the right place of not.... (well duh...then FIX IT) ..... stupid people sometimes!! The arm with the permanent line for dialysis is HUGE... so swollen....and the nurses just let it hanging there, they don't even try to keep it elevated... makes me mad! AND.... he was laying on a bedpan for 3 freaken hours....he was PISSED OFF!! He is also jondus (yellow skin & eyes), eyes are from the renal failure but his liver numbers are off now too....... what is next? Your guess is as good as mine........ as of right now..... at least two weeks on the feeding tube and a bare minimum of another month in ICU before he could MAYBE be transferred to another unit or rehab... he will NOT go home straight from the hospital..... he will have to go to some kind of skilled nursing facility. It's gonna be a LONG HAUL...... he is "stable" and I guess at this point..... that is the best I can ask for and keep praying for the rest. P.S. about 15 mins after I posted the #8 update: Sister called...... he pulled his feeding tube out AGAIN! -------------------- www.facebook.com/shell.marr www.myspace.com/shellmarr Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
