Hubby is holding his own, not getting alot better but not worse. His blood levels are slightly better, oncologist said they would normalize on their own after the chemo starts to leave his body. His blood pressure is still very low and needing heavy meds to support it which is a very big concern. Still on the respirator as he is not strong enough to push out the air from his lungs. But he has passed the 48 critical hours. He is still very critical though.
His entire family was here to visit over the weekend and I do think he drew strength from all of them. I managed a few hours sleep so feel a little more human today. Maybe feeling different after I get to the hospital but for now, I can manage.
I do appreciate all the support from this site. It is such a roller coaster of emotions and so many shocks one after the other.
Even if he does survive this crisis, there are many more hurdles for hubby to get through. All I can do is see how he is each day, so sick of sitting in the hospital but I suppose he is alot more sick of lying there.
