home
Well the doctor came in and talk a long time they told us there was nothing else they could do. His iron is building up due to so much blood and it is bleeding out as fast as it goes in.
Dean decided to come home, the doctor said he could stay in hospital, but they would not do anything just make him comfortable if he had any pain. If his heart started acting up which they are expecting to happen they would put him on a morphine drip.
Thank heavens for the nurse at the hospital, he talked with Dean and convinced him he would be happier at home with hospic. Due to a holiday weekend they were unable to get hospic here and wanted us to wait till Monday , but we said no, so they loaded him up with blood , platelets, calicum, etc. and we came home last nite.
We were gonna just tell everyone he was home and not tell them till after the weekend, but his daughter got to asking Dean so many questions he didn't know how to answer so he told her.
Her husband called me back and ask if she could come down today, sorry I was not nice I told him that we really wanted to be just us for the weekend, and he said well it was his daughter and she wanted to come. So I guess she will be here sometime today.
Hospic will be coming Monday, and they will explain everything to us. They gave me morphine drops to put under his tongue in case he started having any pain.
I was so happy this morning he actually ate breakfast, his eating is very poor.
He wanted biscuits and gravy, and he ate two. Then I had bought his favorite candy and he eat that. They have put us on a sliding scale for the insulin and told him to eat whatever he wanted.
So far his bowels have not moved since we come home, he had reg. food last nite and today.
I can see that the blood did not do as good as it had before, he is still real pale, but at least he is home in his recliner with his dogs. This is so much better for him.
I know it is all in Gods hands, but the way the dr. talked it want be many days because the lack of blood will cause heart problems.
Just want to thank you all for your love and prayers.
love
Anne
