I'm sorry I haven't been here lately, Brian fell and fractured his fibula/tibula. He's been in the hospital for over a week now. He had a 3 hour surgery and was in recovery for 8 hours after. He won't be able to stand or walk on it for 3 - 6 months. I am having a metal ramp put in at the front door for his wheelchair. He will be at home on the main floor in a hospital bed, commode etc. My poor man! Low platelets and has had about 4 transfusions so far. Platelets 2x.
God is guiding me through this and I actually am pretty calm because I've been walking about 5,000 steps or more a day. He has had a ton of visitors all family so far. Today, Sunday I took the day off and got the house in order and did a big order of groceries. I was busy all day. I've been putting in seven - 8 hour shifts at the hospital to be with him.
Everyone is pulling us through this. His life expectancy with his MDS is up, they gave him four years, so I pray he will live to see his Jan. 25th, 70th Birthday. If his transfusions start holding better than a few days he should be ok, he normally holds them 3 weeks. Now he's needing one almost every 3 - 4 days!
I WILL be getting home care, thank goodness, I won't bring him home without it!! God blessed us with the fact that he didn't hit his head and he is alert and orientated. Prayers that I can manage with him at home, and please god no more ambulance trips for the next while!! He is in good spirits and cracking some doozie one liners!! {Prayers and positive thoughts please. I am smoking but have only had a very few here and there, will stop completely soon.
xoxo
Love you my EX family!!
