Sorry fir the kate reply. They have niw moved Mark to another hospital and he will be seen by his consultant daily. Talking about feeding him so should find out tomirrow. This flare up is a bad one back on iv antibiotics. Sometimes it feels this is never going to end.
Hi Dee,
Looks like you’ve made a bit of progress. How are you and Mark doing?
Best regards,
Andy
Hi Andy, i am a wreck and Mark is the strong one. Hopefully they will start feeding him tomorrow also they are talking about putting a camera down to see what's going on. He is out of pain which is good but hospitals seem so slow to react to anything.
Dee
Good that Mark is out of pain and that they seem to have a plan.
I’ve been on both sides of carer & patient, and I found it so much harder being a carer due to feeling helpless, frustrated and the torture of seeing a loved one suffer. I’m sure you’re a lot stronger than you think & you’ll find hidden depths of strength you never knew you had.
Hope has kept me going for a lot longer than the doctors ever thought I would.
Andy you are so positive and it really helos me.. Family on bioh sides seem tio have sloped off which is hurtful. Hope is everything and focusing on the small victories is all we can do.
It must have been so tough fir you and your family. I hope i can be strong for Mark.
Dee
People react in strange ways sometimes. Possibly their own fear, don’t know what to do or how to react and step away. They normally come round but it takes time, unfortunately.
Keep doing what you’re doing, fight when you need to, celebrate the small wins & keep your chin up and you’ll both get there!
