These are a couple of pictures of my nurse, lol, my awesome husband, long term care giver, nurse & doctor in training. Well you get the picture. I don't know where I would be without this man. We got married 4/27/12 and he is the love of my life. However when he pledged "in sickness or in health" little did he know what he was signing on for. I've been sick almost from the beginning of our marriage but he's stood by me, took care of me, and continued to love me. He's had to clean me up when I was too sick & weak to do it for myself, he's washed my hair, he's learned enough about nursing by on-the-job training than he ever wanted to learn I'm sure. He's given me injections, put antibiotics in my PICC line, now he's learned to finish mixing up my TPN feeding by injecting vitamins in the bag & hooking me up every day for 16 hours a day. He's had to learn how to work on the pump that puts the feeding into me through my Groshong port. He's gotten up at night when the alarm goes off on the TPN indicating there is a problem that he has to figure out what to do about it. He's been through five surgeries, two of them I almost died because of complications. He stayed right by my side two weeks at UAB, never leaving my side. Yes, I love this man more than there are words to tell you. He also was solely responsible for finding out that I have SHPT, by searching online by erratic blood work so if I could nominate him for Husband Of The Year award I know without a doubt he would win it. He already has in my book! So if I had to be sick, I praise God for this man for loving me through all this. Just a day in my life on my journey to health.
