| Hubby now in icu---another update Dh and i got up at 6am this morning and played around with our computers. Highly unusual for me I often sleep to noon with my work schedule. About 8 am he sd he was constipated and sd his stools (what he could pass)were still black. This time I looked at them,black as licorice. . He wanted a laxative. I refused to give him one till I talked to the GI lab or his dr. Called gi they sd call stomach specialist. Finally after an hr i got a hold of them and told them the problem. They talked to dr and asked how far away I was from hosp, I told them where i lived, they asked how soon i could get to hosp i sd as soon as i changed clothes. They sd get there as soon as possible. I told dh. Would you believe we got into a shouting match because he refused to go? He finally sd "FINE!" Got there and he was very pale. After doing tests they sd he had lost a little over 1/2 of his blood in his body. The dr actually told him he owed me his life because he had not got there when he did we would have lost him. I am still shaking as I type this. They did another scope, still found no bleeding but they cauterized the ulcer edges. They think the ulcer is opening and closing. It is very large and is 1 1/2 inches deep. He is in icu tonight with 2 surgeons keeping watch over him and a reg dr. They sd the ulcer is actually setting on veins and vessels (?) and it could cut them in to. If so if not caught very very fast I will lose him. So it may mean surgery. He will be in hosp at least till monday. He is getting 4 units of blood. They actually had to give him one before the scope as they did not know if he would make it without it. I am sitting by my phone. Please pray for us.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Oh my how horrible, half his blood, he does owe his life to you! So glad you insisted, you would never have been able to forgive yourself if you hadn't gotten him there in time. I'm praying for your husband and you, and hope they can successfully treat his ulcer. Hugs to you!

| Thanks to all ! All prayers and good thoughts greatly appreciated by all of us. I am going to try and get some sleep. Something that is not easy for me to do with him not here. It will be a long weekend. I came home and called a friend and went over everything with her. I shed some tears, ate a bit and watched a little mindless tv. I had to share with my friends on here also. I can not live without him. BTW, he did say he guessed I did not over react and I was right. THAT does not happen often. Will update tomorrow night. Phone is by my side and my kindle is charging for the next few days. Thanks again.

| My prayers are with you, Thank God he finally gave in and did what you told him. It is a blessing that he told you instead of being stubborn. It is hard on the wife when the husband doesn't worry about their health. Maybe you can get some rest even of you are at the hospital but you know he is being well taken care of.Please keep us updated.
