Hi guys,
My wife passed away today, Feb. 3rd, 2011. It is the saddest day of my life. She went through a lot, but her weak heart couldn't make it:
Friday Jan. 21st.
Went to the emergency because there was blood in her stool. It is believed that she had bacterial infection. She vomitted a lot of bile, while at the emergency room.
Sat. Jan. 22nd
Wife got admitted but test results came back negative on any type of bacteria, but it is still believed to be an infection. My wife can't seem to eat any food.
Sun. Jan. 23rd
Not much urine output and still vomitting. It is believed that her kidneys are dried up.
Mon. Jan. 24th
Got a call from a doctor to come to the hospital immediately because my wife was becoming confuse. I saw my wife and I started crying because I knew there was something wrong.
Around 6pm my wife has lost all ability to think. She started twitching all over her body, including her face. Her last word to me was "I love you" before going into that twilight.
It is believed that her kidneys and liver are failing and her heart took a heavy toll. I decided to stay with her all the way.
Tues. Jan. 25th
7:30am right in front of the neurologist who wish to examine her brain for possible brain damage, my wife threw a violent seizure that lasted for 2 mins. 10:00am My wife threw a 2nd seizure more violent than the first.
Doctors decided to pump her full of IV fluid in order to hydrate the kidneys and get them started, but they never did and all of the fluid went to her body and turn into an edema.
They decided to threat her with very powerful anti-biotics.
Wed. Jan. 26th
Doctors decided to put her in isolation and insert a tube in her mouth to help her breathe because her CO2 level was high.
My wife started spitting out blood because of pulmonary hypertension which weakened her heart even more. Blood pressure dropped significantly and she was given BP medication.
Thurs. Jan. 27th
Doctors needed to give her dialysis because of edema and toxins in her body, but her blood pressure continued to drop and her heart rate was at 160-170 per min.
The doctor told me that she is going to die now. He wanted to shock her in order to reset the heart, but I said NO, because it could also stop her heart. I recommended Beta Blockers to slow it down and more BP medication to increase blood pressure.
Doctors gave her 4 different types of BP medications to increase her blood pressure. Becausee of this it constricted the flow of blood to her limps. Blood still continues to ozz out of mouth.
Fri. Jan. 28th
They were able to do dialysis, but they couldn't pull the fluids out because the BP kept dropping.
The Anti-biotics and all of the IV fluids which are 7 of them has caused my wife's skin to break, especially on her buttocks, neck, thigh, and upper arm. So the nurses started treating her like a burnt victim.
Sat. Jan. 29th.
They were able to do dialysis, but they only pulled 1 liter out. BP is holding steady and heart rate was at 120.
Sun. Jan. 30th
They were able to pull out 1.5 liter of fluid from her body.
Mon. Jan. 31st
They skip dialysis because BP was unstable. Her skin continued to break apart and the dermatologist was called to help.
Tues. Feb. 1st
They were able to do dialysis. Doctors were not optomistic about her prognosis and her situation was getting worst, esp. with her heart and lung. Her kidneys were gone and fluid from the liver was going to her stomach.
Wed. Feb. 2nd
We had to discuss about my wife's situation, do I continue to let the doctors treat her eventhough it was a losing battle and let her suffer with her skin and blood ozzing out from her lungs which is slowly drowning her or do I take her out of life support? I was in tears and very lost.
Thurs. Feb. 3rd
5:00am My wife's eyes opened up and she was looking at me. I asked her what she wanted to do. We starred at each other's eyes for a long time and I believe she gave me her answer with her gestures.
1:30pm Her family and my family were at her bedside. My wife opened up her eyes again and was looking at all of us. We all said our tearful goodbye to her.
2:10pm Her life support was taken out and she was given 5mg of morphin to help her relax. As soon as the tubes and IV's were taken out blood came out her mouth and her blood pressure plummeded and her heart rate went down as well. She was struggling to catch her breath.
2:30pm My wife was no more. I know my wife didn't want to die so soon and that's what is hurting me. She's only 38. We promised each other that we would grow old together. She was so scared of dying that she can't even make a will. I pray to God that He comforts her.
