I can't imagine how stressed and scared you must be. I hope he recovers quickly so that he can come home.

So far so good after the second surgery, still in icu but vital are good. They put in a temporary colostomy bag since the infection was caused by bowel leakage into his abdomen so he will have a third surgery when he gets home.
I brought my boys home yesterday, 8 hrs of travel time alone with a 3 year old and 10 month old is no joke.

@SwanSong: you are so strong. Thinking of you guys, and I hope DH gets better ASAP!
-
@SwanSong: thinking of you. You must be stretched to your limits, hoping he is well enough to come home soon
-
Oh my goodness. Wishing your family all the best.
-
Oh my goodness. I hope your husband is cleared to come home soon and gets all the care he needs there and when he returns. What a scary situation.
-
Thinking of you and your family.
-
sending you hope and prayers hugs!
-
@SwanSong: So scary! Hope you'll have him home soon!
-
Good news! The travel insurance assigned a doctor to review our case when I told them I was concerned about his quality of care and he is currently getting medically evacuated to Fort Lauderdale. I got to tell him before he heard from anyone else and their was such relief and hope in his voice, it's lifted his spirits. Can't wait to hear from him.
-
@SwanSong: that's such good news! Hope his transfer is smooth and safe.
-
@SwanSong: What wonderful news! Praying for a swift recovery for your husband and that he is home soon.
-
@SwanSong: I just read this whole thing and wow! I'm so sorry that all of this happened! Thank God you had that travel insurance. I am soooo glad that they are sending him to Ft. Lauderdale.
-
@SwanSong: yay!! that's great. When is the flight?
-
@SwanSong: great news!!!!
-
Update, husband is still in the hospital in Fort Lauderdale, his incision from his bowel resections is still infected so he is hooked up to a wound vac at least until Monday. He is, however, back to eating normal food, albeit in very small portions. While I can't wait to have him home, I'll not only be caring for my boys but him as well, trying to mentally prepare myself for that.
-
@SwanSong: Glad he's back in the US and doing better!
-
@SwanSong: so glad that he is slowly doing better. What an incredible ordeal for all of you!
-
@SwanSong: glad he is doing a little better! I'm sure it is overwhelming. Do you have family and friends nearby to help when he comes home? I'm sure he will be happy to be reunited with you all soon!
-
@jhd: I do and thank god for them, everyone has been amazing. Bedtime is the worst right now since they are both so needy.
-
@SwanSong: I'm glad to hear that. Hang in there. I hope your DH continues to improve and can be home with you soon. This sounds terribly stressful.
-
@SwanSong: Good to hear he is improving. Hopefully he is home with you soon.
-
Wow, I just read this, what an ordeal. I'm glad he's getting better!
-
Such great news! It's easier said than done, but don't forget to take care of yourself!
-
@SwanSong: How are you guys doing?
-
@SwanSong: Sorry to hear everything you went through, I cant even begin to imagine dealing with all that. Hope he is much better now
-
@snowjewelz: we are okay, getting into a decent routine with my little boys, my husband is still in Florida with no release date in sight. The two surgeries and infection have taken quite a toll on his body so he isnt healing well. At this point he is still on the wound vac with an abdominal binder as well now. It is so hard not being with him but Ia m trying to keep my, his and our three year old's spirits up.
@Mrsbells: Thank you!
-
@SwanSong: Sounds like he's having a really rough time too... Prayers for your family
-
@SwanSong: wow I just read the whole thread. I'm so sorry you are going through this. It's got to be so hard on every single one of you. Praying he is well enough to travel home very soon.
-
What a nightmare. I'm so sorry you are all going through this. Stay strong, mama.
-
Oh my goodness, I just read all of this. What a scary situation. I'm so glad he's at least receiving better care - I hope he heals quickly and can return home soon! Hugs!!
-
What a scary time for you. Sending you and your DH all the love and support. Hopefully he's able to come home soon and he starts to feel better soon!

Your family has been through so much, especially your DH. Sending hopeful thoughts and prayers for his solid recovery so that he can come home.

Visiting ny husband this weekend, which has been awesome. Trying to keep his spirits up. He will down here another 2-3 weeks, he will be having a big surgery in just over a week to correct all the problems from the surgeries in the Dominican Republic, the surgeon then expects 7-10 days for recovery until he can fly home. Prayers he is home for Christmas.
