A Quick Update

April 12, 2013 by Lauralynn Elliott

Hubby is still in ICU. He has a blood clot in his lung and a big one in his leg. We think it stemmed from his broken ankle. They are giving him blood thinners to try to dissolve them, but right now, he’s in a lot of pain from the clot in his lung. A LOT of pain. So they keep him pretty doped up. There are only four visiting times per day, so I’ve spent a lot of time in my own little cubby in the waiting room, where I’ve slept every night. I’ve been home once to shower in three days, and went in to work for about two and a half hours yesterday. My son is feeding my dogs and cats. I scooped the litter box the one time I was home, so it’s probably pretty rank right now. I have two cats, so it needs scooping daily. Anyway, I just wanted to say hi to everyone and let you all know what’s going on. I just want this to be over soon and have him back home.

  Yep, it’s scary since my best friend died from the same thing. And thanks for bringing me lunch Wednesday.

  Thanks, Claire. I’ve pretty much been a rock until today. I’ve seen both my sons cry and also my brother-in-law. I didn’t cry until today, but I think I needed to.
