Update On Husband

Posted on August 12, 2013 by Ruth Ann Nordin

I see quite a few comments and emails came in, so I thought I’d make another post to save time on commenting to each person.  I appreciate all the kind words and prayers.  You’re all awesome.  😀

My husband has a ruptured appendix.  We originally thought it was a stomach bug then thought it was food poisoning when he didn’t get better.  Today he got to the doctor who took him in for a CT Scan and found the real cause.  So he’s waiting for surgery and is expected to stay for about a week post-operation.

I expect it will be about a week to a week and a half before I’m able to get to emails, Facebook, Goodreads, and these blog comments.

Thanks again, everyone.  😀

    Oh, man, I’ve been neglecting my friend’s blog posts while I was in Vegas. I’m sorry to hear your husband is ill (I KNOW how it feels), but I’m glad they were able to determine what it was and are working to fix it. My prayers are with him, you, and your family.

      I thought of you and what you went through. How is your husband doing? Is he back to his old self?

        Yes and no. He’s feeling better, but his heart wasn’t pumping all the blood out as well as it should. They thought he had the same disease as his brother. But it turns out, he has had a heart attack in the last 5-6 years and didn’t even know it, so there’s some heart damage. Not severe, but it’s causing a few issues. He has all kinds of weird health issues he’s on medication for already. And the bad thing is that he’s always taken good care of himself, kept his weight down, eats lots of fruit, etc. So it’s weird that he’s had so many problems.

          Considering all he’s done for his health, I’m shocked to hear he has heart damage. 😦 I’m sorry to hear he’s had to deal with all of this on top of what he’s already gone through. I’ll be praying for you guys. I know you have a lot on your plate.

    Hope all goes well and he’s up and around soon. You’re in my prayers.

      Thanks for the prayers. He is walking around so everything looks good. There’s no word yet on the release date from the hospital, but as long as he’s doing better, I can wait. 😀

    My prayers are with you and you’re family. Just finished reading His Reluctant Lady. Loved it!! Can hardly wait for Perry’s story!

      Thanks for the prayers. 😀

      I’m glad you enjoyed His Reluctant Lady. I hope something happens to cause a conflict in Perry’s story because (so far) Perry isn’t giving me much to go on. LOL I might need some outside help from the heroine’s brother or the man she almost married. I love writing without knowing what will happen next, but sometimes it can be scary when I’m not sure where the characters are leading me.
