Hubby not feeling very good

[Forgivenmom5]

I am glad he is doing better. That had to be scary for both of you.

Gary is lucky to have you... praying he will continue to feel better.

Well Gals, he had another "episode" last night. Woke up at about 2:30AM, could not breathe laying down. I gave him a nebulizer treatment, but it did not help. He spent the rest of the night sitting in the recliner. He took an extra water pill and he feels better now (10:00AM). He does not want to go to the ER. He says is OK to stay home, I agree.

We will DEFINITELY be trying to get into the doctor on Monday. Something is going on with him, and I think it is related to his heart. If I hadn't been through this several times before, I would be crazy. But I know that if he gets really bad, he will say it is time to go to the ER. Thankfully, I'm off work till the 12th, so I can be here with him. Even when I am at work, I'm only 15 mins away, so I can get home quickly if needed. My daughter lives only 10 mins away and she doesn't work, so she can get to him if I can't.

Please don't worry too much (just a little is fine). I think he'll be OK till Monday and then maybe we can get some answers. If not, we'll just zip over to the hospital.

Gayle, so hope all is well. I'll keep you in my prayers.

[Gina]

Oh Gayle... I am sorry he was not feeling well again.. I will keep my fingers crossed and say a prayer that its nothing serious... Take care

Gayle....I was so praying he wouldn't have another episode. Hopefully the Dr can see him on Monday and can figure out what is going on. I hope your husband able to stay calm through all of this, but not being able to breathe well can throw us into a panic.

Thanks Janet, yes, he was a little panicked Wednesday night. But he has had asthma for so long that he is used to that "not being able to breathe" feeling. I can tell though, that he is worried about what is going on.

He has been in the house since we got home Wednesday (well, we did go out to breakfast one morning) and this afternoon, when I got home from the basketball game, he said he had "housitosis" and needed to get out. We went to Luby's cafeteria for dinner and he was hungry and ate well. Now, he is watching the football game, but asked for his oxygen, so I know his breathing is not too good.

I'm supposed to go to the dentist to have a permanent crown put on Monday morning at 9:00, but I'm going to cancel so that I can work on getting him into the clinic. The crown can wait.
