[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 457150, member: 84"] Actually I was holding off staying with anyone (Nichole offered as well, even to come down and pick me up) because it sounds as if he's coming home tomorrow. Now according to his nurse, well she's sure of it but it's a prediction, he's yet to see the doctor......although he's due soon. The last nurses I've spoken to were fine, just that first one and heck she might have been busy. So I'm keeping tabs on him that way. And after yesterday mornings hissy fit the doctor is taking the time to actually stop and talk to him while his nurse is there to fill him in on what he might have missed. husband is in much better spirits now that they've stopped talking over him or around him and treating him like he's 12. He had another ECG today, the arrhythmia has them worried. So they've switched him to a new medication and are starting it IV so they'll know faster if it's going to work or not. If it doesn't work they'll sedate him tomorrow and shock his heart and see if they can correct it. Now the low down on that I'll get explained to me from the nurse or easy child as I'm sure he's using very basic layman's terms. If that has to be done then it will be friday before he comes home. If he isn't discharged tomorrow I'll see if easy child can run me up for a visit just in case he stays longer due to the arrhythmia. That would be mostly for his benefit as I'm doing ok now that I'm getting facts from his nurses and he's sounding so much better. I'm on the phone with him most of the day, whether I want to be or not. lol I think the telling them he is autistic and deaf helped a ton. They brought in someone yesterday who will help with the discharge and make sure he will come home with all his medications and any equipment he needs. That took away a big fear for him I think as he's sounded better since she came in and spoke with him. I should know by this evening if the new medication is working or not, either via husband or his nurse. Then I should know whether or not to go up and be with him for the procedure they'll need to do. Which I'll talk to easy child about today. Knowing wth is going on is so much easier and better than not knowing is going on. I don't think there would be an issue taking me up for the procedure. [/QUOTE]
