I know I posted about the baby news tonight and I am really happy about that but my husband started getting really sick again tonight. And the pain in his side was back and worse this time then the last time he was hospitalized back in November/December.
After much discussion and me getting really upset with him I convinced him he needed to go to the ER (mainly because he has had acid reflux so bad this week and it was causing him to gag on it while he was sleeping, his vomiting was really bad again and the pain was pretty bad as well). I was really hoping that it would be a simple fix and he would be coming home last night (he left around 7:30 or so) or sometime early this morning.
I just got a call a little while ago that they admitted him again and after doing another CT scan and comparing it to the previous scan from November they said the liver looks worse and there is something going on with his stomach as well. They are treating with antibiotics right now, giving him something to try to control vomiting and acid reflux and planning on running more tests between now and later today. Probably more towards morning hours.
I feel horrible that he is going through this alone but I could not find anyone to stay with my son and I obviously cannot leave him alone as he is only 14 just shy of 15. It is ok during the day but in the evening not so much. I know he understands why I cannot do that so I know he is not upset about me not coming with him but I want to be there with him and I do not sleep well at all when he is not home.
Anyhow needless to say I am worried about him yet again. This feels like a never ending cycle of him getting sick like this/them treating it/it gets better/he comes home...only to have it repeat a few months later. He has had so many tests done...xays, CT scans, MRI's, ultrasounds, colonoscopy, endoscopy. But the doctors are not able to find anything conclusive and I do not know what else they can do to figure this out.
I do not know if it is something he is doing/not doing right (like not taking his medication everyday like he is supposed to or if it the foods he eats triggering it to get worse). Not that there are a lot of foods that are triggers that he typically eats and as far as I can tell he has been taking his medication everyday. It just seems to be getting worse each time one of these episodes happen yet there are no answers as to why he is getting like this up to this point.
I am hoping to be able to spend some time with him in a few hours when everyone is awake and the ER doctor said he may be able to go home today depending on what they see with the other tests they ordered. I kinda have a bad feeling he is going to be spending a few days there again. It just feels like he will get better and the doctors will say everything is ok then he will get worse and they run all these tests all over again and I am scared for him again. Like a roller coaster ride that is never ending.
I really just want him to start getting better and not be in so much pain all the time and for this to be nothing serious. All I can think is after going through losing my son there is really no way I can lose my husband too but he just keeps getting worse and he is in so much pain all the time. On top of that I know losing our son is really hard on him too. So in addition to all the physical pain he is still feeling there is all those emotional issues as well.
Sorry for the long rambling post. I know I am most likely not going to get any sleep and I have nobody to talk to about it.
