Hi I’ve been lurking on this forum since my husband was admitted to the hospital November 14 with Covid. His condition worsened and he was put on a ventilator 10 days later November 24. He stayed intubated and sedated in a coma for two weeks. They gave him a tracheotomy and he awoke from the coma. He was having internal bleeding, off and on temperatures, and blood clots. His pneumonia was relentless. My husband fought for 5 1/2 weeks in the ICU. he lost his battle with COVID-19 on December 23. after going into cardiac arrest. He was 58 years old relatively healthy besides his diabetes and a little high blood pressure. I am devastated beyond words we have a 16-year-old daughter. I wish he would’ve taken Covid more seriously I think he just thought it wouldn’t happen to him. The stories and hope that I read on this forum keep me going I really thought he would’ve made it but his body had just been through so much I am at peace knowing he’s no longer suffering prayers to you all

Sorry for your loss.
How utterly devastating and sad it is to read this. This virus is taking so many loved ones away. Despite us being careful, it still happens. Sending heartfelt condolences to you and your daughter.
Thank you everyone. His services are tomorrow. I’m praying I can be strong for our daughter. This is a still so hard to believe. I really did think he would’ve pulled through. Prayers and love to everyone affected by this horrible virus.
I’m so sorry to read your post, my thoughts are with you & your daughter
No words can ease your sorrow at the moment, but my thoughts are with you and your daughter. My sister and her husband are both fighting covid at the moment. They have diabetes and my sis suffers with ashma, so all we can do is watch and wait. Many people are grieving and when this pandemic is over we all must come together to make our world a safer place. Take care and hold on to the memories. Xx
Thank you and prayers to your sister and her husband. I felt so terrible, as I’m sure you do too, that he was alone without the support of his family. I feel his outcome definitely would’ve been different if he felt that love and support from his friends and family. There were a few FaceTime calls here and there, but getting in touch with the nurses to coordinate those was next to impossible at our hospital unfortunately. In the end I feel he became hopeless and depressed and just gave up. 😥
I know it's really hard, one of the ITU nurses looking after my husband, told me recently that on occasions when I asked for facetime , they declined because he had deteriorated and it would have been awful for us to see , they did it for our best interest , I lost so many nights sleep thinking how the outcome could have been different if we were allowed in to see him. I will be thinking of you and your daughter tomorrow.x
Thank you for your kind words ❤️
That's so extremely sad. My heart goes out to you and your daughter. Hopefully your husband didn't become hopeless and just give up, hopefully he fought hard, with his very soul, but his body gave up not his soul and very being. Sometimes the body has different ideas to our souls. Our souls the entity inside the pulsating body that can let our souls down as those are merely organs not souls, our souls filter into that system allowing us to be seen and do rnd experience thihgs, but if those organs fail, the soul fights, but the organs not the soul lose that fight. I'm sure his soul is besides you and understands how you feel. Don't allow that feeling to eat you up, these are horrendous times. And in October and November your husband would already have been aware of that. And have then understood why you couldn't visit much or at all, and could only face time a handful of times. I think those with loved ones critically ill should be offered the vaccine so they can visit their loved ones more safely but still ppeed up. I feel your anguish and sheer sadness . My thoughts too are with you both. x x
Oh my gosh I’m just heartbroken for you - I’m so sorry - I don’t even know how you must be coping right now... thank goodness you have your daughter - x bless you both 💔 x
