Hi friends! I need some support

So sorry you guys are going through this! Your husband is in excellent hands! That said, you need to take care of yourself too so you DONT crash as soon as he starts to improve. If that means he gets hospitalized for a day or 2, so be it. If you don’t take care of you, then you can’t take care of him... big hugs!

I want to say that I agree with Nola.

Christina, you and your husband have my prayers and good vibes. Please keep us posted.

Christina, I am sorry I only just saw this. I hope you are both home getting some good sleep right now. What you describe sounds scary. My thoughts are with you and your hubby. Please give us an update when you can.

Hugs

Sorry to hear that.

I know nothing about ticks. I stay out of the woods etc -- not that I live near any woods anymore anyways. The worst bugs we get are giant cockroaches and giant waterbugs, and occasional scorpions. They are all nasty, creepy, slimy, and scary, but I don't think they're anywhere near as dangerous as ticks. And I know you've got rattlers down there too. Nature is scary!

Hopefully you guys figure out what's going on. I hate waiting for answers.

Thinking of you and your hubby, Christina.

I'm sorry you guys are going through this. Sending plenty of warm friendly hugs and hoping everything ends up okay

Hi ~Christina, I am increasingly concerned.
Hope to hear from you whenever is best for you.
I am keeping an eye out.
You know where to find me.

praying for you both . . Tigger

Hey everyone.

Dr called he does have pneumonia as I expected. His liver enzymes are elevated also. All his basic blood work is off of course due to infection further that just pneumonia.

His temp last night went up to 102.6.

If his temp goes to 103.5 I’m to take him to the hospital.

We followup with our Doctor tomorrows, blood cultures we’ll be back. Not sure how long the tick titer test will take , I had it years ago and it seemed to take a while. So hopefully that’s improved.

I’m so grateful he got blood work and X-ray done so we made it back to Dr’s office for a double shot of Rhocephin so at least it’s on board.

He had painful urination that getting progressively worse, if he just gets unable to go, he will need a cath, another possible Reason for er

I fully expect he will need to be admitted for IV antibiotics, vancomycin is my guess, and more fluids. I hope that this is sepsis and will be handled and it not go full septic shock , I’m actively stopping my brain from going ... there.

He’s not quite as dizzy today so I’m not as panicked he will fall , but I do jump up when he gets up just as a safety precaution.

I got bits of sleep here and there 30 - 45 mins , and my alarm was set hourly to check his temp and push his fluids.

He has no desire for food , but he has to stuff it in anyway, his antibiotics require a large amount of food or he likely won’t keep them down.

I’m handling this well , I always do. I spend 2 years while my Father was battling cancer staying on top of all his cancer meds while in the hospital and also at the time when he was lucky to be home.

I’m use to major health crisis’s.

Don't forget to take care of yourself too! Sending blessings and peace from England

Hi ~Christina!

I was getting increasingly concerned, thus I am glad to read your update.

I know your H is not yet out of the woods; however, I have a lot of hope for both of you!

I am positive you are doing a fantastic job!!!

We are here for you!!

Hugs to both of you!!!

I hope he’s getting well now. I’ve read some of your updates. You must be exhausted. Best wishes to both of you.

So sorry to hear..hugs

Hi Christina, so sorry you are going through this. My thoughts are with you and your husband through this difficult time.

Christina- I am so worried for you. Everybody is right: you need some solid sleep. I understand why you feel you can't right now, but we dont need lack of sleep to activate your bipolar. My thoughts are with you. J-

Christina sending some big hugs your way!

Sending you some big hugs; so sorry you are going though this.

You both are in my thoughts tonight.

I agree with others that you do need some sleep; even just little naps here and there are better than not having one.

I hope both your husband and you got some sleep last night and that his temperature is going down. He's lucky to have you by his side.
