Hubby In Critical Condition

By Texasbandit

· 972 views

Hi everyone, just an update.

 

Hubby is in critical condition now. He is not breathing on his own and is intubated and has a feeding tube in his stomach. A few times his vitals dipped really low and we had to rush to the hospital asap cause they didnt think he wouldnt make it.

 

After installing another device, a tandem heart, he has improved, but still in a medically induced coma. It's so hard to see him like that. They are shooting for a LVAD next week. A LVAD is a mechanical pump attatched to his heart. This will bridge him to transplant. A new heart wont be available for a few months. I'm just so tired.

    You know what they say "You never know how strong you are till be strong is all you can do" So I hope your strength will get you through as well as your husband.
