The Colon Club

Hi to all,
This has been a rough week. Peter had a bad Easter weekend, couldn't eat anymore, and me trying anything, built up to a massive bowel obstruction on Tuesday. After a bad night of vomiting, I realized it was bowel obstruction, and we irrigated him. We got rid of it all, after another lot of vomiting, and then he was really without any energy, just lying there. I called the oncologist rooms, and they wanted to test some blood to see what is going on. After the results, the creatinine count is up AGAIN. They admitted him to hospital, and he only got more weak since Tuesday. He only has a urination twice a day, can't get up, and is wheezing. They got him some oxygen also tonight.

After the bowel obstruction, I realized I can't do more than that, I am not a nurse, and I really wish now I was one. When the doctor asked if I want to take him home, and he knows what a fight I put up for this darling husband of mine through the last 8,5 years. I told him I am afraid to take him home. I really am, cause I realize he needs the professionals now.

I don't think he will come home, and if he does come out of hospital, he will probably go to hospice. We are also now in a position where we realize when your time has come. After 8,5 years, your body can only take so much! ...

All my love and prayers to people in the same situation. I really know how you feel.
Love
Ilse Muller
(wife of Peter)

I am so sorry Ilse! I will definitely say extra prayers for Pete and for you tonight. My heart is with you, I can't imagine how you are feeling

Ilse...lots of prayers, peace and good wishes for you and your Pete.

My dear Ilse,

Sorry to hear this , maybe things will turn around ? Didn't they say around 12 months ago the end was near and you signed all the hospice forms but a year passed already and Petes still here ? I'm hoping that is the case xx

Ilse, You and your wonderful husband will stay in my thoughts. I wish you the best.

Ann

Hi Ilse. I'm so sorry. I'll be thinking of you & Pete this weekend.

Prayers going out to you tonight. You are giving your husband everything and you are so smart not to take him home. He needs a team to manage his symptoms. Pallative care or Hospice at a facility is a move that will provide both Peter and you with the comfort you need and deserve.

Ilse - I am so sorry you and your husband are going through this right now. I hope that he is pain free and thing start looking better. I am thinking of you.

I'm sorry things are going so poorly for Pete.
At least he has some relief in the hospital.

Prayers and best wishes to you both,
-Rick

My thoughts are with you, and hope for a restful and peaceful weekend of improvement.

Thinking of you both.

My thoughts and prayers are also with you. Your loving enjoyment of your time together is always an inspiration. Hoping that you will be able to share many more times with your special husband.

Prayers being lifted for Pete and you and your family. If it is time for Hospice,I pray you find a place where there is freedom from pain and nausea and he will be in a caring , compassionate place.

Your love for each other is so evident in everything you post, I truly admire your courage and strength.
