this came out of nowhere..dh is really sick :(

[j2015]

Life has a funny way of punching you in the face. Last month I was so nervous I messed my sway up and was pregnant with another girl, if I wasn't I was getting my sway plan and doing things right this time.. then out of nowhere dh got sick.. really sick.I kept thinking to myself ' is God punishing me for being so upset to have another dd?' Dh is waiting for his biopsies to come back to rule out cancer, unfortunately the other option is irritable bowel disease. Throughout all of this I told Dh I want to skip ttc in july until we get our answers and then we will only proceed if dh is feeling more healthy ( in the last 2 weeks he has lost 10 pounds!) As far as swaying goes having dh sick has definitely put things into perspective for me. I have decided to continue my sway ( waiting to get my personalized plan once we get results back after the 4th so we know what we are dealing with health wise first) but I need to stop being so upset if I get DD2.. will I be sad? Yes but I shouldn't be depressed! ! Life is a gift and things can change in an instant. I think I need to continue the sway for myself just to say ' I've tried everything' and if at the end of the day dd2 comes out of my sway then you know what, she must have been meant to be. Right now I am lightly keeping up with my HE diet but it is on the back burner for a little bit so I can be there for Dh.. his health is what is more important right now. Please I ask that everyone prays for dh. We are hoping to get ibd out of this that can be managed with medication. It's sad I am hoping for a disease but it beats cancer :tissue:

So sorry! My almost 13 year old DS1 has IBD (ulcerative colitis) and it's not that big of a deal, so I hope that's your DH's diagnosis!

[j2015]

Is it a mild form? I was told ulcerative colitis and chrones disease are not fun

[essnce629]

He was diagnosed a year ago after having frequent bloody diarrhea (like a medium flow period) and cramping for 2 months (which is how long it took us to get in to see a GI doc). He had upper and lower scopes done then and again this past March. Crohn's is usually worse because it can be anywhere in the digestive system-- small intestines and bowel. Ulcerative colitis is limited to the bowel and so far it's only in the descending portion of my DS1's bowel. He was put on the medication Lialda, which is a once a day pill, and that has pretty much stopped all symptoms. He's had one flare up since then, which is why we had scopes done again in March and were looking at a medication change, but things calmed down on their own since then and he's still on the original med. It has no side effects so far.

Wishing you the best.

I am sorry your DH is sick. My father and cousin has ulcerative colitis. It can be treated with diet and sometimes prednisolon.

Thank you ladies, the biopsy came back cancerous but thankfully was removed on time so no further action is necessary. We go back in a few weeks to discuss medications. Unfortunately now I am fighting a horrible kidney infection MAN we just can't catch a break!

[Babygirlquest]

I'm sorry to hear it's so hard right now. Hope you both feel better soon.
