Really need everyone's prayers - Please!

I took DH to the emergency room last thursday night
He was diagnosed with acute appendicitis and they did surgery the next morning
DH was in the hospital for 4 days and came home Monday around 4pm

Around Wednesday, he started talking funny
Really not acting like himself
He says his tongue is swollen and that is why he is talking like that; - I dont know

I can't explain all of the 'symptoms' but I am REALLY worried about him - I know it sounds terrible but when he talks, he almost sounds like a stroke victim

I called the hospital today and they said if I was really concerned to being him to the ER - DH refuses to go and says we'll talk to the surgeon on Tuesday when he has his follow up appointment

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep him in your prayers
I am so worried and Ive cried but it just makes him feel worse so Im trying not to cry in front of him

I just want my regular DH back -

I hope he is ok!! Maybe try talking to him again and tell him how u are being so careful with the pregnancy and all, so you want him to be just as responsible with his health as the 'dad to be'. maybe that would help get him to check it out.

Keep us updated!

I would paige the surgeon's office and let them know the situation. Someone has to be on call, and they are required to call back. I would let them tell you what you should do. If the dr says he should be seen, then have the dr s/w your DH and tell him so. At the very least, do not wait to Tues. There are walk in also open today like LIq group. My ex husband was stubborn like that, so I know how helpless you are feeling. He had a stroke on a Sat and was waiting to see dr b4 going to the hospital. He had an appmt the following Thur but I called the dr office, told them what his symptoms were and had him seen there immediately and they sent him to the hospital and he was willing to go then. Good luck, keep us updated.

I'm so sorry your DH is going through this. I know this must be so stressful for you! I hope that he gets better soon. Lots of positive thoughts heading your way.

Re: Really need everyone's prayers - Please!

thanks so much ladies
he is somewhat better today, though the benadryl knocked him out

I cannot make him go to the ER or anywhere for that matter and I cant carry him; so it is what it is
