Hubby is showing a tiny bit of improvement, his oxygen levels are getting better and they are gradually going to wean him off the respirator. Finally got the drain in him today and drained a lot of fluid from his tummy already so by tomorrow he should be much more comfortable. He is very aware and alert even on the respirator and hoping to get him out of ICU and back into the oncology ward very soon. Still has loads of fluid in his legs and feet and they tell me that is not going to be helped by the drain but we are hoping by meds and if he can get strong enough for chemo again. I really want him home again. But one day at a time and he is slowly improving. Chemo is palliative but we are hoping for some good days at home. This has been so fast, he was healthy in July and now in intensive care on a respirator. Very frightening and I think we are both in denial at the moment. How can this all happen this quickly?
