I brought him home a couple of hours ago. We still don't know anything for sure. He's scheduled for more tests over the next few weeks, but they seem to think he'll recover use of his arm and are encouraging him to use it as much as possible. Of course, he would have done that even if they told him not to, lol. Right now he's sleeping, because he didn't get much last night. The only medication they put him on is one baby asprin a day.

They did tell him he has a small hole in his heart, but no other vascular problems. However, the results of the doppler on the carotid arteries have not come in yet.

A funny moment for us was when the doc asked if he had injured his back at some point, and if he was in pain. He said, 'no, why?' They had taken a chest xray earlier in the day and noticed a couple of broken places in his back. Hmm... LOL. I know I probably shouldn't laugh, but I think it's hilarious. He has no pain in his back, and up until he lost use of his arm, did things as usual. (anyone who knows him knows he's a workaholic who out works most 20 year olds, carries 3-4 2x4s slung over his shoulder as if they weigh nothing, and never says quit.)

Anyway, that's the update at this point. Thank you for your prayers! Combined with mine, we just might get through this thing.

Big hugs and so much sympathy.

My advice, for the little it's worth is to rescind those DNRs. AFAIK, they can be enforced at the time, without prior written opinion, if they are relevant. Not knocking the principal, just questioning the generality.

If the situation really is terminal, then DNR makes sense. If it isn't - and all such circumstances are debatable - then it might not.

I've been watching "House." Granted that's fiction, but the show illustrated a case where ignoring a DNR led to full recovery.

Just saying...

Minxy,

Lots of healing thoughts and prayers going out for you and the hubby.

Be sure to take care of yourself as well.

Exactly my objection to it. I understand he doesn't want to be on life support, and he doesn't want to be a vegetable or a 'burden' to me, but I think it's worth a shot since he really has been healthy to this point.

 

[vella_ms]

best to you both.
