Day 39 of my partner being in hospital, and day 16 of super urgent list with not a single offer. 💔
The ECMO is no longer enough to support he is having to get a biVAD fitted ASAP. Very distressing for us as his family to hear open heart surgery, but if it will make him less breathless and feel better it’s just what needs done.
The consultants and nursing staff all warned us that heart failure would be a rollercoaster, I could do with getting off now 😭
