Thank for the update - I hope your husband starts to feel better soon, and that his FIL takes care of himself. My FIL had prostate cancer when my husband was in high school, and his was actually a somewhat more serious case than usual, but he is alive and well and ornery as ever. And one of my dad's good friends just went into remission, and you would never even know he was going through treatment.
I'm thinking of you and your family. Make sure you take some time for yourself, too, whenever and wherever you can squeeze it in. ::hugs::
Thinking of you guys. You are such a good wife! YH is a lucky man.
Aw thank you! I really appreciate all the kind words! Tonight he looked at her sad and I said what's wrong? He said I just feel like I'm missing out on her growing up! It was after bath which he used to give. I wish this would just go away already!
He went back to work today and seems to be feeling a lot better. No more fevers but still having crohns symptoms. We are still waiting on some results but my hope is that he continues to get better! Thank you all for your kind thoughts, words and prayers! It's been a rough month but I'm hopeful we can start putting it behind us!
Well I've been sitting on this news since Friday as it's been a bit of a shock but he was diagnosed with CMV on Friday. I have an appt with my OB to discuss future children and what this means. I guess it's a very common virus but for people like my husband who are immune compromised it can attach their organs. It can also be fatal to newborns and unborn babies. It can cause birth defects as well but I'm not sure what the percentages are. His doctor says it's rare but I would like to check with my OB and see what if it's something they treat and more info. We are trying not to dwell on it and will be keeping an eye on his blood work. I just feel like he already has crohns and now this. I feel terrible for him and worry for all of us. I just pray it stays dormant now! I can't imagine life without him and if this comes back it's just scary to think about! Thanks everyone for thoughts and prayers throughout this whole thing. I know I haven't been too active on here lately until the last couple days but this has been a rough month and half!
So sorry to hear the news birdhut but you have such a good attitude. I will be continuing to wish and pray that things start to go smoothly for you three.
Thanks everyone! I wasn't too strong at first but my husband said you know with all I have I just have to not think about it or I wouldn't be able to enjoy my life if I was always worried about what I have. It helped me gain a new perspective. I have to try not to dwell on it and enjoy every day we have now and hope for the best otherwise we will waste the time we have thinking the worst and there's a chance he could go the rest of his life and not be affected by it again. He has remicade in a couple weeks so we will see how that affects this new virus and go from there.
I'm really sorry birdhut. Good news would have been best but I guess you know what's going on and can better plan your future. Hugs and prayers for your family.
