Thoughts and Prayers....need emotional support?

[mfraz25]

Unk is in the hospital again. A clot in his left leg that stretches from his groin to his knee. He is going down for an endoscopy tomorrow to make sure his ulcer is not an issue and if not, then will hopefully receive his TPA to break up the clot.

Tomorrow is or would have been my mom's 47th birthday. It is hard..

Sending prayers and well wishes for unk and your family.

Thanks Drott.

The prayers are greatly appreciated.

Sending prayers Unk's way. He's been through more than his fair share.

 

[FlyingV]

And prayers for you too (((Morgan))).

 

[Allazar]

I will be thinking of you both and I send my best wishes for his recovery. It has been a tough few months I know... but it will get better!

Positive vibes and prayers for Unk and you. Loosing one's Mother at any age is hard, but even more so for you with your Mother being so young. I will not say that it will get easier. The day to day yes, but my Mother has been gone 26 years--sometimes it is harder than it ever has been. Hugs to you.

thank you everyone.

Unk had his endoscopy today and the ulcer isn't better but it isn't worse. So it is still up in the air on what to do with the clot. The vein doctors are going to have a meeting and talk about how to handle it. Went and seen him today, his left leg is twice the size of his right.

Prayers and hugs for you & Unk.

Sorry about your mom, I totally understand, I was 17 when my mom passed away. Seems just like yesterday.

 

[mfraz25]

They are going in tomorrow and doing the TPA. They have a procedure that will block the medicine from spreading. So no need to worry about the ulcer. They will go through the back of his knee and get it busted up.

Thanks for the prayers and well wishes.

I'm new to this thread and still fairly new to the forum. I don't usually post my personal stuff but have found myself in need of some extra support and prayers. I have two children, a daughter age 11 and a son age 14. My son has Asperger's Syndrome (an autism spectrum disorder). My daughter has Tourette's Syndrome and Childhood Bipolar Disorder. While my son is doing pretty well at this point in his life due to very early intervention and a lot of treatment over the years for the autism, my daughter is not doing so well right now. She is currently on medication to stabilize her mood due to the bipolar and until recently on meds to keep the tics from the Tourettes under control. We had to take her off the meds for the Tourettes because it was causing her to have incontinence problems. Because of this the tics have returned. Due to her age, hormones and puberty, and the nature of bipolar, her meds are not working for her very well. She has uncontrollable rages (the mania side of bipolar) and despairing depressions that make her say she wants to kill herself. We have gone through 3 new med changes in the past several months and nothing has worked to stabilize her so far. She seems to be getting worse. Last week we changed meds again. My husband and I, along with her doctor have decided that if this one doesn't work in the next couple of weeks we will probably have to hospitalize her. She has severe seperation anxiety from me and I don't know how she would handle this but we are at the point we don't have much of a choice. I am afraid to leave her alone and am in agony over this because I can't make it better. My husband works 48 hour shifts so I have both kids alone a lot of the time and feel like I'm coming apart at the seams sometimes. I could definitely use some prayers, good vibes or whatever you could offer. Thank you for reading and letting me vent.

I am sorry to hear that tlmoody... as difficult as it can be for all involved, I can understand though why both you and the doctor are concerned enough to recommend a TEMPORARY solution of that nature. Bipolar can be extremely difficult for all people (including the people around the person with the disorder) to deal with. You and your family will be in my thoughts and I will try to send some positive vibes your way as well. Hopefully the solution you mentioned will not be necessary, but there are many different meds that can make life more manageable for your daughter if the right ones can be found. Hang in there!

Oh my, that is so much to try to comprehend happening, let alone to try to handle it all. You are certainly in our thoughts and prayers.
Please know that we are praying for you and yours, and that you are always free to vent/talk to us. We're right here when you need us.

tlmoody, going through what you are dealing with is something that every parent fears, yet can relate to, even if not through experience. Im not good at comforting words or deeply philosophical anecdotes that will make you feel better. But I can say that my wife and I will be including you and your family in our prayers tonight. I dont know your religious views, nor do I feel it makes a difference in this case when I say, no matter what happens, do not lose your faith. Sometimes it can feel like that youve lost everything. But the opposite is true. As long as you hold on to your faith, you HAVE everything you need.

 

[tlmoody27]

Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers! I appreciate your kind words and support. I'll post an update soon on how things are going. Thank you again for letting me vent here. Sometimes it's very lonely and hard to deal with. Other times I seem to handle things really good.

 

[efirdj]

Please dont ever feel like you're alone. You can vent to us anytime you would like. Or if you dont want to throw it all over the interwebs, send me a PM. Im sure someone here could vouch for the fact Im a good listener and wont blab anything to anyone about something that no one needs to know about. My advice may be bit unorthodox, or even just goofy, but I can be a decent listener.

It was scheduled for 6 but they did it around 2. They got the clot or at least most of it. He was heavily sedated when he came out and his stats were pretty low. They gave him some meds and are moving him to ICU for overnight observation.

So far so good then? Please keep us posted. And hang in there!
