Health Issues
As most of you know, or are well aware that Phil has some major health issues.
After almost an entire year of 3 hospital stays (all lasting about a week), ER visits, more than monthly doctor visits, 3 renal failures, diagnosis of pancrititis, and diverticulitis and .more CT scans than we have hands, MRI's, MRCP's, imaging appointments and more blood work than we'd like to admit to. At the beginning of September we finally got answers! At least, partial answers to Phil's progressive health issues.
He has a bacterial infection in his lower intestine.
So we were so excited! Phil got the antibiotic which was a guaranteed solution for all this abdominal pain he has been having.
4 days into the medicine (which he had problems taking in the first place because he couldn't keep it down), so they gave him some anti-nausea medicine along with the other 7 pills he takes each day.
So 4 days into the taking the antibiotics...his entire face swelled. Not just a little bit. A lotta bit! It was so scary! When he slept, he stopped breathing, so he didn't sleep for about 4 days straight until his face became somewhat normal.
He stopped taking the medicine but now we are back to square one....
So frustrating. I hope they can give him something different. This is just insane.
I love my husband so much. I wish he wasn't going through all this. It pains me to see him suffer.
