MonkeyDad is in the Hospital

Comment Published at 09:2709:2730 comments30 comments86 Visits86 VisitsReport

My hubby, MonkeyDad, has been battling a fever for 2 weeks. He saw the doctor after suffering for a while and the doctor gave him antibiotics and addressed his asthma. He was told that he had some sort of bug that resulted in a sinus infection. After another week, the still has the fever and so he went back to the doctor this morning.

I then got a call from him that he is being admitted to the hospital because the doctor thinks it may be meningitis. The hubby is now settled in the hospital and undergoing a whole slew of test. In the meantime, he has to stay in the hospital for as long as they find out what it is that is ailing him.

We are worried of the unknown. Plus, my son came down with a fever on Saturday and on Sunday it got as high as 104.2 F (40.1 C). We had to give him a tepid bath to get the fever down. My son is well now, but in the back of my mind, I'm thinking what if he has caught whatever his dad has?

I feel a little guilty, too. The hubby has not be incapacitated so I've not been tending to him this whole time. I've actually asked him to help me around with the kids.

Please send some positivity and prayers along our way!

Re: MonkeyDad is in the Hospital

I want to thank you all for the positive thoughts and prayers!!!!!  My hubby appreciates all the the positive vibes.

He has been home since Thursday night last week and has been resting at home. After he goes back to work next week, I think I can finally have my rest.

Hi Izzy,

I was so saddened to read your blog . .  My hubby and I hope that your hubby is okay and my hubby (MrMintyMan) asks you to to tell your hubby that 'lying on his bed sick is a GREAT way to get attention" . . . Must be a private joke cause I certainly didn't get it . .

I hope you are okay and that you hubby is on the mend . . .

Thinking of you and your family . . . Cheers Kellz

Sorry to hear about DHs illness. It's so easy to treat it as "man-flu" - we've all done it. Glad Ms fever has gone. I hope the girls stay well so you can concentrate on being the devoted wife for a day or two. Sure aint easy being dragged this way and that with everyone's needs. I'll be praying for you!

Re: MonkeyDad is in the Hospital

Oh sweetie, that is terrible!  I know what it is like to have the other half in hospital, and it is not nice.

Big hugs, and lets hope that it is just this rotten bug that has been going around.  We have all had it and it bounced from sinus to chest and back again for about 2 weeks. 

Meningitis is scary.  One day you can be fine, the next, having a needle shoved in your back!  Suppose there could be justice there if you went through an epidural, but still not nice.

angel girlShe'll watch over you all. hugzThinking of you all and I hope that MonkeyDad is home real soon.

Re: MonkeyDad is in the Hospital

Dear Izzy, i send MonkeyDad all the healing and strength vibes i can for a speedy recovery! I sincerely hope the tests show what is the problem and that treatment can be started ASAP.  I do so feel for your hubby if they think it is meningitis as the tests to diagnose that are not not very pleasant....just wondering even though your son is feeling better now....have the doctor's recommended that he be tested also, just a thought.

Sweet Izzy you  shouldn't feel guilty about not tending to him ( even though as loved ones, we seem to take the guilt back on ourselves)....but keeping him busy most likely kept his mind off how he was feeling.

My thoughts & Prayers are with you all.

Hugs Janice

Re: MonkeyDad is in the Hospital

Best wishes to MonkeyDad, it is good that they have taken his illness seriously and are taking tests so that they can eliminate possible causes.  No doubt he will be feeling run down after the last couple of weeks, so the rest will do him good. 

I know it is scary, lonely and hard to cope; but you are a very capable woman, and an extremely good mum, you will get through this moment in time.  Just stick to your priorities, and don't sweat the small stuff.  Don't be afraid to call a friend or relative and ask for some help; even if it just means someone to chat to.

Keeps us up to date and best wishes to all of you xox

I am very sorry to hear this Izzy. I hope your husband feels much better soon.

I am sending you my prayers and my thoughts along as well.

I know that you're going to feel guilty as anyone would, I have done the same thing when my hubby has been sick. I hope that Matthew does not get what his daddy has.

Hope all the kids are well, you take care of yourself and the little ones.

Tons of love to you sweetheart xoxo
