thank you all

[tigerhouse]

from the bottom of my heart, for all your prayers & best wishes, am not a religious man, but so thankful to have joined this community,diane is still with us, they tryed taking out the ventilator today, but she could only manage about 30 minutes with an oxygen mask, so she had to be re-sedated & put back on the ventilator, the nurses said that it can happen some times, apparantly nothing to worry about !!!

it depends on the abilitly of the patient themselves, so once again thanks to all of you, who responded in my hour of need, tom.

Hi Tom. Sorry I missed your previous post. It sounds like your wife is in the best place and the Royal Brompton has a very good reputation. I am thinking of you my love. Keep your spirits up as the chances are she will be fine and have many more years yet. Take care. xx

Hi,

I am glad to hear that your wife is doing quite well considering and you are sounding a lot less distraught now which is good. No wonder you were so concerned and worried, but she is in good hands, and sometimes people need to be gradually weaned off ventilators so it can take a bit of time, but during the time she is being ventilated, its giving her lungs a rest as well as her other organs. Everybody is different, so keeping positive and remembering that there are lots of people on this forum who have been in that situation and are still here and actively posting.

Wishing you and your wife all the best and hoping that she can come off the ventilator soon.

Take care,

hugs from Huggs xxx

Glad to hear your news Tom and glad that she has been able to be off the ventilator for a little time. It is reassuring to hear a nurse say it is nothing to worry about. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your wife. Lots of love TAD xx

[scorpiolass]

Good Morning Tom, sorry, I too missed your first post. So sorry to hear about Diane but as she is being trialed for coming off the ventilator, hopefully won't be too long now. love and all kind wishes to you and Diane. Margaret x

Well the good thing is they are looking at taking it out soon. So that looks like an improvement. I was weaned off 3 different ventilator machines. The second one they got me to sit in a chair for an hour to see how I coped while still being ventilated. I was so wiped out by it they kept me on it for a few more days. PMA.

Be Well

[Dragonmum]

So glad things are improving - get some rest if you can, you'll feel better for it, and stay strong. In all our thoughts and prayers as you can see.

[tigerhouse]

good morning, thank you ever so much for your info,i know shes in the best place etc, shes due to have the trachy op sometime to day, but it might seem a selfish thing to say & i am baring my soul now, i don't want to build my hopes up, diane is a far stronger person than me, i doubt i could go through what she has, i was coming home on sunday evening from euston station in central london only to realise it was the marathon day, the station was packed more so than usual, i managed to get on a train-standing, and was surrounded by people having done this or that sponsored run, half way home i broke down in tears, and total strangers both men & women comforted me for the rest of the journey, just like yourselfs & so many more on this wonderful website, many thanks tom.

[Suzy6 in reply to tigerhouse]

Hello Tom. No disgrace to break down. My Husband and Son have lately too. In a way I found it comforting. They are both strong for me but have just that little edge which proves to me it is genuine not false.

In my thoughts and prayers today. Love Suzyxxx

[Cooperhart]

So glad to hear this, she will get there x

Sending good wishes your way, bless you both xxx
