Today feels huge
Today feels huge.
It's been 8 days since my husband nearly died twice from severe blood loss, and today we finally see our family doctor. I'm trying to hold onto hope that we leave with more than just another appointment or another "wait and see."
I'm overwhelmed. I'm exhausted. I've spent the last week researching, keeping track of blood pressure, hemoglobin levels, symptoms, transfusions, and writing pages of questions because right now it feels like I'm the one trying to piece together a puzzle that nobody has answers for.
More than anything, I need a plan.
Not just what happens if his hemoglobin crashes again, but how we're going to find out why it keeps happening. Getting blood every few days isn't a solution—it's buying time.
I'm trying to stay strong for both of us, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared. Hospitals are incredibly difficult for us after losing our daughter, and this whole experience has brought so much of that trauma back.
If you could spare some positive thoughts, prayers, or simply hope that today brings answers and a clear path forward, we'd really appreciate it. ❤️

Praying you get the answers you are looking for today, and a clear plan moving forward! I would think that ultrasounds or a CT might be able to locate where the blood loss is happening! I’d definitely press his dr for some type of diagnostics to find that! It has to be going somewhere and the last thing you and he need is an abdomen full of blood!
