My husband had emergency surgery yesterday.... He is on a central line for TPN as he was born with Gastroschisis- his intestines on the outside of his belly/body cavity. Anyways he’s been on a central line for his entire 37 years... we’ve had our fair share of death scares, infections, comas, surgeries, etc. Anyways - around Christmas they replaced his central line as something was GROWING (yes growing) inside one of the catheters and they didn’t want him to get infected so they replaced it. Well over the weekend his line started coming out.
This is a first. I took him into the ER yesterday morning as per doctors orders. His line LITERALLY just fell out of his chest onto to the ER bed
this has never happened and even the doctor & nurses were blown away. Scary. Thankful he didn’t bleed out or die. They rushed him back got an X-Ray to make sure the whole thing came out (it did thank god) and rushed him into surgery. He’s home safe now albeit in a lot of pain.... but I’m still thankful. Tracy doesn’t have a clue what it takes to be a wife or think about anyone but herself.
Moral of the story : be grateful for every day you get with your loved ones
you never know!
