Back to manchester

After the radio active test on Andy they found that a coil on Andy's pancreas had got infected and because Sheffield doesn't specialise with pancreas they have sent him back to Manchester,which could mean a operation ,Andy is really fed up because we was going on holiday in two weeks time so now we don't think we will be able to go ,I'm not going to cancel the holiday just yet I'm going to wait until after the weekend and SE if he has to have this operation,and i don't no if he has to have his pancreas removed or just the coil that's infected,its been a very stress full three weeks but hopefully we will Se some progress ,,,,probably not till next week because planed surgery takes time were as emergency surgery is a emergency,so i can see its going to be another two stress full weeks ahead,because Andy is in Manchester we are going to visit every other day instead of every day because traveling wears us out ,Andy's dad is worn out after driving to Sheffield every day ,well Andy has just phoned me and said it looks like he will have to have a operation ,,,and is just waiting to see the surgeon.so i will no more tomorrow,,,,,,,my daughter Kelly is 35 weeks pregnant and has been having a lot off pain today so I'm looking after my grandson while she is in hospital having a check up,i hope she hasn't gone into labour early ,,,,cant cope ,,,i will keep you up dated ,ttfn xxx

Still not better,











hi again,well after Andy having test after tests,he is still no better,so they decided to stop treatment and let his infection flare up again so they can do a test on him ,they take some blood do something with it then put it back in him while his in this machine and it supposed to attach to the infected areas so they can find out were it is coming from ,they think its in his groin were he had a stent put in ,if it is they going to operate take it out and put another in ,i cant believe its took them two weeks to do this ,Andy is in a lot of pain again and temperature ,also they might put a camera down to his heart to see if he has a heart valve infection ,but they said that a week ago,its ok i no he will get better its just the stress of traveling to hospital every day and looking after to kids and doing house work ,,,its tiring,and i no its tiring for Andy's dad driving to sheffield every day,iv not been well i keep getting really painful legs and bad headaches,it could be stress related but im going to my gp to find out iv had all the paras i can take in 24 hours and im still in pain ,well last week we had two new additions to the family two baby boys how sweet ,finley and jayden above and a new pic of Andy looking a bit better,ttfn xx

Ghosts







me and john (Andy's dad) went to see Andy today he is looking better although his leg and foot is still sore and still has a rash ,they are giving Andy warferine to thin his blood ,and he was told that they are going to put a camera down his throat to look at the back of his heart to make sure he has not got a heart valve infection ,so i hope they give him the all clear ,the other day i was at the hospital and a nurse was crying and shaking and someone was asking her if she was ok ,anyway i didn't think much of it till the next day i went in and Andy said a nurse walked into a empty room and saw a ghost,well i found out it was the nurse i saw crying ,no wander she was shaking ,in a part off the hospital it was a workhouse over 125 years ago then a hospital ,ive all ways felt uncomfortable in a part of the hospital its a long corridor you have to walk to to get to the toilets its always quiet but echo,s when you walk down there,i had to go to the toilets today and i was scared ,it sounds like someone is walking behind you but its just a echo i hope,,,,,,,i have put a picture to show you the long corridor, my kids have been quite good and help full since Andy's been in hospital which im pleased about because they normally play me up ,but they have been good ,jack had his d,a,r,e, at school yesterday which i missed but herd it was really good ,they never had anything like that when i was at school,Andy's niece had a baby boy today after being in labour for 48 hours or so bless her so congratulations Lisa and Kev ,xx, below is a pic of Lauren and jack as well .ttfn.ttfn,xxx.

What is wrong ?




Hello,its been a while so hear goes ,since my last blog Andy done something really stupid and signed himself out off hospital ,he was really fed up he said he was feeling a bit better andjust wanted to come home ,because the doctor said if his scan was ok then he could go ,so three hours after the scan he was waiting to see the doctor but he didn't come so Andy had had enough and signed himself out ,that was a Friday night ,by Sunday Andy was in a lot off pain with his leg and stomach so i said to him to see the doctor when he goes for dialysis on Monday ,anyway he went to dialysis and asked for the doctor but no doctor came ,so when he came home Andy phoned our gp ,and later on that night Andy was in hospital again sheffield this time ,they have done a lot of tests this time but nearly every day something new was wrong with him so we don't really know whats what ,one minute its vasculitus then its a bone disease then it might be a heart valve infection and now today it might be a infection from the last op from a stent he had done ,so we don't really no,i want to ask a doctor but they seem really busy when we are there,so when i get a chance i will,today he is still in pain with his leg and its still swollen with blood rash ,his on morphine for the pain ,and has morphine patches as well ,they might be giving Andy warferine tablets to thin his blood ,then they might be replacing the stent then they might put a camera down to his heart ,so all the might this might that is not going anywhere,so frustrating,but Andy is ok today ,the other day we went to hospital me and Andy's dad that is ,,Andy was out off it just sleeping talking rubbish and not with it at all ,he had a bad hypo that day and he had a lot of morphine for the pain,but it did upset us he looked so poorly even his dad said ive never seen Andy like this before,so i knew he was upset ,,,,,,,on Wednesday i had to take jack to hospital for a cheek up ,he might have to have another operation yet,so im worried about that as well ,im surprised im not in hospital yet with all i have had to deal with ,still life goes on ,,,,,,this is a pic of Andy in hospital,ttfn xxx.
