My DH just been taken into hospital with an irregular heartbeat, low oxygen and breathlessness worse than normal due to COPD. He has been unwell since xmas eve and we have tried to cope at home with calls to 111 and gp ringing us back with prescription for antibiotics and steriods as he is prone to chest infections. But this morning we had to admitt defeat. Hoping they will discharge later today as dont really want him staying in there, also that they will sort out what ever the issue is. sad

Hoping you’re not still suffering with nausea now and can eat a little travelsafar ? Keep your strength up and get over this - it’s important that you take care of yourself.
ICU is the best place for your DH right now, please be reassured they will be giving him the treatment he needs.
Try and keep positive ?

travelsafar I’m so sorry to read your latest news. Particularly hard for you to bear when you are ill yourself due to this wretched virus.

Please be assured your DH is surrounded by a highly skilled team of nurses and doctors constantly monitoring and attending to his needs.

I hope you are able to eat and drink a little today. You sounded quite unwell yesterday. I hope you are able to ask for support if you need it.
