Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / January 2005OTP: prayers for john, please
i took john to the er at 2 am this morning. he'd lost tons of blood over the course of an hour and his fever had spiked back up to 102. in all the years he had ulcerative colitis, he said he never lost this much blood at one time. i just got home (it's 8:20). he was being admitted. i'm going to nap a couple of hours and then go back. it's not a typical ulcerative colitis/crohns flare, so they're doing loads of tests. they think some other infection or the antibiotic triggered the flare. he'd been in remission for 4 years, so recently went off his maintenance drug (at his doc's recommendation). i feel guilty for coming home, but i'm exhausted. i figure i'll be in better shape for him later if i sleep some now. diane Diane!!! Don't feel guilty for coming home. You will be unable to help him if you're dead on your feet!! Sending hugs and good thoughts to both of you {{{{{{{{{{{{{{Diane & John}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Keep us posted. ~KJ > i feel guilty for coming home, but i'm exhausted. i figure i'll be in > better shape for him later if i sleep some now. > > diane ((((Diane)))) It's just as important for you to be taken care of right now as it is for John and he is in good hands. You are also recovering from illness and need the rest. I'll keep John in my thoughts and prayers today and will look forward to finding a positive post when I get home tonight.

Please let him know there are lots of prayers and good vibes coming his way from the group.  SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{John}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Diane}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Sending prayers to both of you for healing and over all better health. Please let John know that we are thinking of him and pulling for him! Diane, you did the right thing by coming home to get some rest. You need to keep yourself well rested and healthy, and John will also need the time to rest a bit. As someone who has done the hospital routine more times than I would like to think, it is always nice to have someone you are close to and comfortable with there at the hospital, but not 100% of the time as both need the quiet time to rest/sleep and John will need that alone time as well. You will serve the both of you best by taking that time as needed to get some sleep for yourself and to allow him that time as well. Blessings to both of you and keep us posted as to how things work out for John. Praying the doctors can get the bleeding stopped SOON!!!! Hugs! Donna G Prayers for sure. And prayers for you. And for the medic types to figure out what is happening with him and to deal with it pronto. Get some rest as best you can. He should be busy today getting rest of his own, and getting tests etc. By this evening you will likely be better company and he more in need of company. Besides, its time for the nurses to take care of him for a while.

For reasons I'm not going to go into this scenario strikes a very personal chord with me. Please make sure you take care of yourself through this difficult time, for both your sakes. All the best, Ari Signaturespammage trappage: replace fishies_ with yahoo I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. To jump to the end of the story, as a result of this I need a bone marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor: http://www.abmdr.org.au/ http://www.marrow.org/ Please do not feel guilty. My husband is my caretaker when I am ill. I have lupus. During my last hospital stay a day or two ago...I told him not to travel up there in the evening to see me. He had patients all day by himself...had to cook for our kids....take care of household stuff. I was laying in a bed being treated. I had a very obnoxious roommate that would have been a pain during any visit I had with him. He needed the rest. I told him when I got home I would need help getting things done and making doc appts...so to rest up for that instead. He felt very badly and showed up at pick me up with tons of presents. I REALLY wanted him to rest and not feel guilty. I had to have a serious heart to heart talk...and let him know we had to take care of him too. You need your rest and your husband will insist on it!

Get some rest -- you will need it. Guess your John is finding what both Harv and I found when we tried to stop or lower a dose of the drug holding us secure. There is such a thing as remission and then there is a medicated remission. I had my doctor's permission as well. sigh. Hope he stabilizes quickly.
