Day 20

WEDNESDAY EVENING 10/3 Day 20

I am sorry that I did not update last night. I was so tired when I got home from the hospital that I went straight to bed. My doctor put me on three different things for my nerves so I was able to sleep for 6 straight hours.

He is now on the Telemetry floor so they can monitor his heart. He is still in atrial fibrillation. Even with the medication they are giving him it is not going into a regular sinus rhythm. The heart doctor says that we will just watch it and keep him on medication.

The kidney doctor made rounds before I got to the hospital so I did not get to speak with him. My husband told me that the kidney doctor said that he still has a 50/50 chance of his kidneys improving and getting better.

The gastrointestinal doctor said that from the scope that was done last week that the inside of part of his stomach looked really bad (they did not tell me that last week) He said that with the medication he is on it should just take time. How much time he could not say. He told us it could be a couple of days, a couple of weeks, and maybe even a couple of months. He also said that if the stomach does not heal that they might have to do surgery to cut out that part of his stomach. This will be a last resort.

His spirits are so low right now. He just thanks me over and over for being there with him. I love him so much I could not imagine not being there with him as much as possible.
