Gosh, not sure when I posted last. On the 8th, I took my son to San Antonio for some injections in his spine. We got back about 2 PM and he wasn't feeling good and headed on home. Right after 8 his fiancée called and told me he was in the ER....About 3 hours later, they flew him to Round Rock ER still not sure what was wrong. He did have double pneumonia, but his chest cavity was full of air or something. They didn't find the 1 1/2" tear in his esophagus for 2 days, and finally did surgery from 10-2PM Thurs. nite. All that horrible stuff had leaked out into his chest, and also into his lungs. He has barely made it, but is definitely getting better every day. He's still in ICU, but came off the breathing machine totally Wed. or Thurs. (I'm kinda lost in time). I'm staying home today to get some rest, his Dad is there and his fiancée will be too. He pulled the tube out of his nose during the nite, but they left it and will do a test to see if things are going down right, now.
That's all I can do about the last 11 days. Been at the hospital most of the time, and had taken my tablet but wasn't using it so I left it home. Our dotter brought jigsaw puzzles, and that was the perfect way to pass the time. I've ridden with his Dad, and was leaving home about 7:30, getting back about 10. I'm doing a load of laundry, need to go to the grocery, and that's ALL i'm gonna do. Kick my feet up in my chair, nap, and stare at the walls,,,lol.
Yall tc, and
HAGD
Wow!!! He will probably have a long recovery. Hope and pray that all goes well for him from now on.
ReplyDeleteLots for him to go thru, yet, but,,, that's ok! Like, a pain management (not sure what that's called). Physical therapy. Not sure if he will have to use a feeding tube into him stomach for a while,,yet. That's what the nurse said yesterday, would, for about 6 months.
DeleteI'm sorry to hear your son has had to go through something that really sounds awful, and I hope he's on the upswing now. You must be a nervous wreck, so take some time for yourself to recuperate - feet up and napping sounds just right.
ReplyDeleteJust really really tired. But, just a long nite's sleep last nite, and just not much doing today, has already helped.
DeleteI first read about what happened to your son on a comment you left on Dizzy's blog. Was hoping you would update your blog and let us know what was going on.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry he is having so many problems and hope he will soon be well. You are a wonderful Mom always there for him. I am glad you are taking some time for yourself. You need rest and relaxation and I am glad you are getting it.
My best to you and your son.
He was doing well enough yesterday, and his Dad, Sister, and fiancée were there, so I stayed home and did get the rest I HAD to have. Feel like a new person today. Fixing to go back within the hour, waiting on my ride with his Dad. We've been going together cause we would have been doing the same drive at the same times, so made no sense to do that. Will try to post later, not sure when.
