He is still in ICU, at least for tonight. They will reevaluate tomorrow about sending him to a stepdown unit.

And then we will talk about rehab.

Alva, they did a regular CT and visualized the bleed yesterday. Apparently, to see if it's still active, they would need contrast. They don't want to use contrast because his kidney are not yet up to snuff from the sepsis and shock. So they are inferring from the fact that they've gotten a reading of 9 for Hemoglobin twice today that the bleed has stopped.

Barb, thanks for update. So are you saying scans are done and they cannot see an active bleed? What is their next step, do you know.
I am flummoxed by the robot and want one to yell at N. just for the fun of it.

Barb,

I have seen the automated robots in restaurants on television shows. So, I am assuming that Koreans don’t tip the robots! Hahahaha 😝.

I fell in love with robots when I was a child watching The Jetsons cartoons. I wanted a Rosie to clean my room!

I hope your hubby will start to feel better soon and can return home. Have you been able to get any rest?

My new profile picture is of the robot!

My daughter tells me that restaurants Korea use robots as waiters.

Barb,

That certainly is an interesting use of tech. Does he shout back at it? I bet some people do!

Okay. Thanks for all your concern!

DH has had 5 units of blood. Hemoglobin still isn't stable. Still haven't ruled out an active bleed.

He has a robot watching him! It shouts at him when he tries to get out of bed. Excellent use of tech!

Ok, a little update. We are in the Surgical ICU; DH has a large retroperitoneal hematoma and came into the hospital septic this AM.

Infection markers are trending in the tight direction. Waiting to talk to the surgical team. He has had 3 units of blood and is on 2 antibiotics.

Way,

Her mom has been driving her crazy. Something has to change. I have a feeling that she’s going to be researching facilities soon.

Her mom used to be very clean and dressed nice. Now, she’s fighting my friend on bathing and washing her hair. Something is off with her mom.

Stubborn woman with cognitive decline ?
Or bored and manipulative and wants daughter to beg her to leave . Or both ?

Oh my gosh! My friend just called me to tell me that she had a gas leak in her home recently.

Her mom has been living in her home since her stepdad died. She said that they needed to evacuate the house until the gas leak was fixed. Her mother tells her, “I am not going anywhere. I intend to sleep in my own bed.”

My friend told her mom, “Well, unless you want to die, you are going to check into the hotel with us.”

My friend says that her mom is extremely stubborn. She is stubborn but I told her that she should speak to her mother’s doctor about cognitive decline.

It’s crazy that her mom wouldn’t want to evacuate a home that has a gas leak.

I felt sad for my friend having to fight with her mom in order to keep her safe. I am hoping that she will think about placing her mom in an assisted living facility.

Oh Barb.
So sorry he had to go to the ER but hopefully he (and you) will emerge victorious from all complications and that the universe will choose today please.
