Update on Rob: He should be coming home today. He would have come home yesterday but he had a serious bout of nausea and dizziness and his liver enzymes were still elevated. The liver is so unhappy because scar tissue had invaded the liver and then grown into the abdominal wall. I guess the liver didn't like that at all. But the levels are going down so the surgery and antibiotics are working. He is very weak so I think he will behave himself for a few days anyway before he decides he should try to do something he should not be doing. I can't wait for several of our friends to take him to task for trying to drive himself to the ER. He refused to let me take him and he ended up having to call 911. Thank you so much for the many many prayers that have been going straight to God's ears and the love and support you have been pouring out on me. And leaha, I love the thought of busting him to Private for being so stubborn.
I know you must get frustrated, but being a very strong person who is used to taking care not only of themselves but others, I can tell you asking for help is the hardest thing he can do. Let him know that he is not honoring your love for him and taking away the joy that you could receive by not allowing you to care for him. When I was told this, I changed my ways quickly.
1. Rest
2. Rest
3. Rest
4. No, really, rest.
