So glad Mike is home and he is improving. You are both in my prayers.

I am glad MIke is home and will keep him in my prayers.

Baroness · 04-28-2011, 07:38 PM

You are both in my prayers for sure. I do hope you take some time for yourself, I know from experience that taking care of someone who is ill can eventually take its toll. It is okay to ask for help and to get some rest, it helps ensure that you are in a good spot mentally and physically for your loved one.

I hope I don't offend by saying this. I grew up with a father who had multiple sclerosis and became a quadraplegic. My mother was his main care giver, and us 4 kids helped out a lot also. It helped so much when she got a little help...I truly wish you both the best.

Thank God Mike is better and at home. I hope you have some help as caregivers usually stay worn out, so, as Baroness says, take some time for yourself, too, if at all possible. I am praying for you both.

Thank you so much. It is a lot of work but as you know, well worth it. It does not offend me at all. Thanks so much.

First off I want to thank everyone so much for all of the well wishes and prayers and also the advise. Mike was always aware of Yorkie Talk and often ask me if I was on Y.T. Well, the other evening I decided to read this thread to Mike. He was so suprised with all of the wonderful well wishes and prayers. I have been telling him all along but did not read every one to him. He said this evening,After reading the whole tread, he said he can not beleive how nice everyone is on yorkie talk. He said, you can not find people like that every where. He said it must be something special about yorkie lovers. He ask me again to Please thank everyone for him again. I told him I did before but he said please tell them again. Everything is working out okay. A nurse stopped by for a few minutes yesterday and again this morning for 10 minutes to check on Mike. I already had drained him by the time she got here so she did not have much to do. The problem is I have to be so careful not to drain to much off because he may have a repeat of 2 weeks ago. So I keep checking his Blood Pressure the whole time. Mike agreed with the fact that I need some time to my self and said I need to start taking time to do something for me. I did today, I ran to the store to get a RX, He stayed here with the pups and he said he did fine. Again thank you all so much for everything. Brenda and Mike

It's wonderful that he is home and things are better now. I don't post much, but wanted you to know I'm not forgetting Mike in my daily prayers.

Hello everyone from Mike and Myself. It has been a little over a week since Mike came home from the hospital. He is doing okay. Today he started with dizziness and not feeling right. So, I started pumping the fluids. I have been taking off 3 liters a day from his plurex cath. Not to mention he is draining from the site where they placed the plurex cath. (sorry if your eating) I am afraid it is to much at one time. I decided to only take 2 liters off today. His pressure is low and so is his pulse. After him going though about 8 -8oz glasses of liquid he seems to be feeling a bit better. He saw the Doc on Tuesday , he said his kidney function was a little off and he had a little infection. He was placed on antibiotics. I have been keeping a close watch on him. His family Doctor just called and said to bring him in tomorrow and he may need fluids or some more albumin. I did not think this was going to be a easy job, but I guess I was hoping he would be home a little longer before he started to have any problems. He is not a complainer at all so he does not even act sick. It is so sad how sick he really is. Thank you all for all of the prayers, it is so greatly appreciated.

Patti · 05-05-2011, 06:23 PM

I am sorry Mike isn't feeling well today. I will keep the prayers going. I know it is hard but try and take a few minutes for yourself.

yorkieusa · 05-05-2011, 06:24 PM

Brenda, you sound like a very brave person. I'm sure your loving care helps him to feel better.
