Please say a prayer or positive thoughts for my DH - Page 59 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My good thoughts and prayers are going to you constantly, and like the others here, I sure wish I could do more.

I know we all feel helpless. All I can do is offer my prayers for you and Ken, Patti.

Patti · 06-05-2012, 05:22 PM

Thanks so much. You all do so much just by keeping the prayers going. Ken's platelets went up a little to 33 ad his potassium to 3.2 so that was better. He still won't eat but a few bites a day and is so weak. I have to lift him just to get him to a sitting position. It is really hard getting him out each time to the cancer center but I am building great muscles!

kjc · 06-06-2012, 05:33 AM

Still praying for you both...

Patti, please take care of yourself remember the shoulder to hip position in helping sit Ken up. Therapist showed me how to do this in caring for Jack.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and Ken throughout my waking hours.
Please remember you are doing all you can in helping him, he is blessed to be home with your taking care of him. Being a caregiver is not an easy task but God provides us through trying times in our life, when you feel beat let HIM carry you and give you rest and fill your soul with HIS peace. You will be able to continue on in whatever challenge lies ahead.

Love you Patti, on my way home and using the IPad at McDonalds, gosh it is nice, know Connie will like one as I think she is getting one

Hugs, Patti and Jack

Very good advice. Patti, I recall physical therapists also using a nylon belt to help lift and stabilize, and prevent injury to themselves. Maybe you could ask to talk to a PT person for some tips.

You and Ken are in my thoughts and prayers.

Patti · 06-06-2012, 05:45 PM

Thanks. I am trying to position myself so that my back takes the least amount of strain. I don't think I can use a belt as his spine is compromised from cancer and a fracture, but I will ask. The PA visit today went pretty much like last time. He has to eat and he is the only one that can do that. He has to go for hydration still 3 times a week. I am taking it one day at a time and all the prayers are helping me through this.

yorkieusa · 06-06-2012, 05:56 PM

You and Ken are in my prayers daily.

roseslevi · 06-07-2012, 01:58 AM

Patti prayers continue for you and Ken.

marcie · 06-08-2012, 09:16 AM

Sending hugs and prayers for you and Ken. Patti, please don't forget to take care
of yourself too

Maximo · 06-10-2012, 07:23 AM

Just wanted to say hello. Thinking of you as always, Patti. Praying for Ken and you. Sending best wishes to your beautiful little furbabies.

I wasn't thinking -- you are right with Ken's back, the belt is not a good idea.

TxVicki · 06-11-2012, 06:50 AM

Patti prayers still continue for Ken and you.

Patti · 06-11-2012, 07:04 AM

Thanks we are at the cancer center now and his platelets and hemoglobin and potassium are bad. Not sure what's causing it but I don't think ken can take much more. Please keep us in your prayers. I feel I am going to need all the strength I can to get through this. I can't stop crying but I have to pull it together. Thanks so much.

Sammy Mommy · 06-11-2012, 07:12 AM

Sending prayers and loving thoughts to you and Ken.
