As another caregiver, I feel your pain.   

For me, it has been easy to adapt to what I need to do for my husband here at home, and across the road for my mom.  Regardless of the hurdle, I have been confident of handling whatever it is, as long as we are all in the place where we feel confident and secure.  

Medical situations requiring outside interventions truly upsets our balance.   None of us are happy with losing what we have tried so hard to control, and knowing our loved one is facing the hospital setting alone, with care decisions being made by strangers, is very scary anytime, but especially now with the pandemic.   

I have come thru many of these storms when I’m not in control, on faith and prayer; trusting that whatever the outcome, I will be given the strength to handle it.   He has always given me that strength, and that will be my prayer for you.

@gidgetgh I am so sorry all of this is happening. Everyone's experience as a caregiver to a loved one is different, so I can't know yours. But I do know how much pain, sadness, frustration, anger, loneliness, and so much more is involved. 

People mean well when they say take care of yourself too, but sometimes that's just not possible. I'll include you and your husband in my prayers tonight.

@gidgetgh I am so sorry to hear that this is happening. Just know that there is a 59 year old woman in Nashville who is sending you strength and compassion.....Hang in there. We are all rooting for you and your husband--and the caregivers taking care of him. (hugs)

I am so very sorry for the situation you are in.  I can certainly relate to your fears and feelings, and I certainly hope and pray that your husband will be well taken care of, that you will be given the information and support you need, and that all will be well in the end.  May our Lord bless you both.

@gidgetgh  I am so sorry for what you and your husband are going through right now.  Thankfully, you will not be able to be with him, but he must have been terrified to be alone.  I do hope that you have someone who you can depend on, who can help you as your deal with all of this.  Please take care of yourself so that you can be there for him.  Sending prayers to the both of you, and I hope that you can get definitive answers about his condition.  Praying that the meds are completely out of his system and that he is doing better when you see him tomorrow.

gidgetgh, I am so sorry for what you and your dear husband are going through.  I pray that whatever is going on with your husband will be corrected and he will be well enough to go back home soon.  Please try to get some rest so you can have the energy you need to deal with what is going on.  Prayers and good wishes are going your way.
