Bad News today

[Rgsable]

I was told just now that my husband conditions has deteriorated and that his heart is having trouble and that his oxygen is high again and he won't make it. The doc said if he has a heart attack they won't do CPR to revive him because he is so sick😭I need your prayers

[avnipiro]

So sorry to hear, stay strong and there is still hope

[Sepsur]

I’m sorry to read your post - my wife was told on several occasions that there was as no chance of me surviving but I have, she even received that late night phone call to come in and say goodbye.

Times a million and more ❤️

[Rgsable]

Thank you all. They haven't call again to say what is happening?

[Marcita in reply to Rgsable]

I believe no call is a good thing. Our hospital calls around 2-5pm everyday. So if they are not calling during other times of the day I feel fine.

[Mguzman1]

So sorry but have faith and pray a lot for him and you. I will keep him in my prayers.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[fishnets]

This happened to me too with regard to my husband. After two months on ventilator he is home now and walking around. I believe they have to give you the worst case scenario but you hang in there. You are in my prayers.

[Rgsable in reply to fishnets]

Thank you Fishnets it is so hard. Thank you for your prayers and encouragement

[Hidden in reply to fishnets]

I’ve been called 3 times to say goodbye it’s heartbreaking my husband is in COVID icu and has been on a ventilator for 37 days I’m so distraught

[Rgsable]

Thank you everyone for your prayers. I will keep praying for you too in our family group prayers. Xx

(If you're in the UK)

This is the current situation affecting "Do Not Resuscitate Orders", e.g. failure to perform CPR.

"NHS England constitution says patients and their families have the right to be involved in discussions about whether such orders should be made."

Have they INVOLVED YOU in their discussions?

[Rgsable in reply to Videodragons]

They just said if he has a heart attack they won't perform CPR because it won't work

[Videodragons in reply to Rgsable]

That certainly doesn't SOUND like involvement.

Assuming again that you're in the UK, here is an NHS service called PALS.

If you're in the US, I think each hospital may have a similar service.

[Rgsable in reply to Videodragons]

Thank you. I must say I was angry with the consultant when he said they will not do cpr if he has a cardiac arrest. I have spoken to them because I don't think they are allow not to

[Sepsur in reply to Rgsable]

I was unconscious for 57 days - they always said to my wife that if it got to that point where they could do no more they would ship me to Wythenshawe to be put on ECMO - 5/6weeks into that coma and whilst having Severe ARDS - they decided that day had come - now here’s the rub- Wythenshawe now wouldn’t take me because I wouldn’t survive the ambulance journey. A few weeks later after proning several times, shocking of my heart etc etc / I came round & that was 4yrs ago. No- one gave up on me

[Taciab2020]

I’m sorry to hear this. Doctors have to give to worst scenario because that’s how they work with possibilities. They are scientists, but God is the life maker and His answer is the final one. Keep trusting that God is in control and that His plans might be different than the doctor’s scenarios. Have faith.

[Rgsable in reply to Taciab2020]

Amen

[Shuestii]

Praying for you and your husband, miracles do happen! Hang in there.

[Rgsable in reply to Shuestii]

Thank you

[Kidn]

Sorry to hear. Just keep prayers going and stay strong. Drs will always give worst scenario. My partner was ‘ killed ‘ every time we had a best interest meeting saying next week he’s not going to make it etc etc or he’s just got 24 hrs if he’s lucky. . He’s 2 years almost past his critical illness and still going strong (DNR is still in place ) so what I’m saying is they ( drs) are not God and until he decides don’t worry .

[Rgsable in reply to Kidn]

Thank you praise the Lord

[Rgsable in reply to Kidn]

Amen thank you for your encouragement x

[Chanlib]

We had the same call over 3 weeks ago and my dad is still here with us and being weaned off the ventilator...keep praying, were there is a life there is hope. Praying for you and your family. Xx

[Rgsable in reply to Chanlib]

Thank you will pray for you too x

[holibob]

Please don't give up, i was told the same and my husbands survived. thinking of you all. xx

[AKAICUsurvivor]

I hope you have more promising news today

[Rgsable in reply to AKAICUsurvivor]

No positive at all. He is critically ill

[AKAICUsurvivor in reply to Rgsable]

I’m sorry to hear that, best wishes

[avnipiro]

My dad been stable all week still on 50%. He been fighting this virus for 4 weeks now. 2 weeks in ward and 1 week in icu

[Rgsable in reply to avnipiro]

I am so sorry to hear that. We all are here to support each other. God is good and he has the last word

[avnipiro]

He still in a coma fighting, just not sure if the virus is attacking the body still or if the virus has gone and this is the aftermath , where its left for the vody to recover?

[Rgsable in reply to avnipiro]

May be they should do a test again and see if the virus has gone or when they do blood test and xray for lung?

[avnipiro]

The blood are showing a slow down trend for the infections , xray showing no improvement. They keep saying that he might get worse and 2 phase of the virus.

[Rgsable in reply to avnipiro]

Hoping that he gets better. I think that they are treating everyone same, same procedure but we are all individual and our body work differently.

[avnipiro in reply to Rgsable]

The Doc seem pessimistic and always negative

[Rgsable in reply to avnipiro]

Keep the faith x

[Marcita in reply to avnipiro]

I get to speak with many doctors. But there is one specific doctor who always make it seem so negative. I hate when he is the one who calls us... I guess some doctors are like that. The others we spoke with were much more positive.

[Rgsable in reply to Marcita]

Indeed there is one that always says the negative things and I am not comfortable when he is around

[NishantKumar in reply to Rgsable]

You are in my thoughts and prayers, have faith. 🙏

[Angelssavepoppy]

I wish there was something better to say- you are in my thoughts. Wish I could reach through the internet and hug all of us suffering. Prayers for you and your husband. Have faith 🙏

[NishantKumar]

You are in my thoughts and prayers, have faith. 🙏

[Angelssavepoppy]

Just checking in on you, how are you holding up? How is your husband? Sending a hug

[Rgsable in reply to Angelssavepoppy]

He is still struggling a lot and has not progress, however it is not getting worst.

[Marcita in reply to Rgsable]

Stable is good too!

[Angelssavepoppy in reply to Rgsable]

Okay that is something to hold onto then. Have faith, stay strong. Thinking of you and sending you a hug.

[Ferham]

I'm so sorry to read this, I'm hoping and praying you have had some better news, my mantra is no news is good news . Some doctors always prepare you for the worst. The last 5 weeks have been the darkest time of my life . Some Dr's have been direct, I've been really lucky overall ,the liaison team have got to know me and my family over the last 5 weeks and even deliver bad news with a positive spin to it , i.e we can deal with these issues . Where there is life there is hope . I'm praying for you .

[Hidden]

Sending prayers of hope & love xx
