How scary for you! I am sending positive thoughts and prayers your way!

I am keeping you both in my prayers and praying for a complete recovery.

Hey all. Thanks for prayers and thoughts they are helping.
I am at home as he did not want me sitting in the waiting room just being able to see him ever hr. He is asking for his laptop (farmville withdrawl) and his cell phone so I will take those when dd and i go tonight.
He looks better and is complaining a lot. Good signs. They wound up giving him 3 units of blood. There is a number (can not rem name of it) that is suppose to be 35 in a man his size. When we brought him in it was 5.2 and for the past 12 hrs it has been 22.0. anything below 22 and they give blood. good news: staying steady, bad news not improving. They may let him have clear liquids today. Surgeons are still watching closely. I spoke to one today and they sd if one of the arteries or vessels burst under the ulcer, they have 10 minutes to get it to stop or he will not make it. He keeps telling me not to worry. Yeah right! :rolleyes: He did say (hold on to your hats ladies) I was right in getting him to go to the er. He is no longer as pale as he was. They again told him he lost more than 1/2 of his blood and needs to rest. He wants up and out of there. I love him and can't help but worry, but i did get in an i told you so. Told him i was entitled to say it at least for a week.

Haha! Glad he's doing better... and coming to his senses! Prayers for whatever makes him better! Hugs to you, the good wife!:D

So glad you were able to get him to the hospital in time; you must be a really quick thinker.

Prayers for a full recovery.

So scary! Prayers being sent your way!

Thanks all
Ringo1: not a quick thinker, just a worrywart that has been sick enought myself to know when thinks do not seem right. I am a firm believer that is something seems wrong healthwise, have it checked out.

Just heard from his sister who went to see him after i came home to rest. The associate of the stomach dr who is seeing him, sd he could have soft foods and he will be going to a regular room tonight or tomorrow. Things seem to be getting better.

Glad to hear DH is moving to a regular room. Hopefully he will be well enough to come home. Keeping the prayers going.

Praying he continues to improve.

Many many thoughts and prayers are with you both :heart to

I'm glad to hear your husband is doing better this evening.

We went through the same thing with my dad last month, so I know how scared you must be right now. Good for you for holding your ground and making him go to the hospital.

The 35 number is the hematocrit. It's the percentage of total blood volume that is taken up by the red blood cells. It's good news that it is holding steady, that means no active bleeding.

I hope he starts to feel better soon.

omgoodness this is a rough one. Praise God he listened to you finally and let you make him go. i will be praying that he gets better really soon and the drs and surgeons will be blessed to know what they need to do to help him and make all the right choices and bless them if they do any surgical procedures on him.

try to rest and know that we are all praying for him and God hears those prayers.

Sending positive thoughts and energy for you both.

Checking on updates this morning. Hope hubby is doing better.

Hoping for some good news keeping your family in my thoughts
