Thanks everyone for the love, prayers, and support.
This morning, I got a call from the doctor. He asked me if I wanted to talk to someone from palliative care. I said, yes, I’d be open to talking to someone from palliative care. Palliative care isn’t necessarily hospice, but rather is something where they can set up services for my husband to recover. What it really does is give more resources to take the extra time it will take to help my husband. After 15 or more days in the hospital, the nursing home won’t hold a bed for him anymore. I believe he will need more time to recover. Palliative care will be able to do what a hospital does, but with more one on one customized care plan to meet his needs. It may turn to hospice down the road. Will just have to wait and see.
I’ve only told my family this so far. I have not put it on my Facebook. I consider all of you my family too.
I feel this is the best option for my husband. I feel optimistic that he will eventually recover.
