Special Support thread for Cariad and her dh

Published

Specializes in RN, BSN, CHDN.

I really dunno how to support my friends anymore, Cariads DH has been undergoing terrible health issues since September last year. When they discovered he had CAD he had 2 stents placed and at the smae time had to have a bone replaced in his neck otherwise he could have been paralised because of the damage in that area.

He continued to have cardiac type pain returned to his cardiologist in December where he repeated his stress test and was told there was nothing wrong with his heart, and to stop being anxious. The pain's continued until february when he was readmitted into hospital because the pains in his heart were so bad he couldn't stand it, he had a cath which showed the stents had blocked off and an new one needed stenting so three more stents were placed. He has continued to complain of pain in the heart and was readmitted to the hospital yesterday.

Meanwhile Cariad has continued to work full time to ensure they can pay their mortgage, continued studying for her BSN otherwise the hospital will want the money back they have invested into her, ran the house, paid the bills, looked after two demented cats and been a good friend. And of last but not least looked after her husband alone.

So what I am asking you all to do is send good vibes and support to one of our own here at allnurses, and see if we can collectively help to turn their luck into something positive and help Cariad feel supported. :redbeathe
