Important Information - Update (Patreon)

I was holding off on this as long as I could, but I don't think I'm gonna have much of a choice now. (TLDR at the bottom)

On Wednesday,  I took my husband to see a Rheumatologist due to some complications he's been having with vasculitis. The doctor told us instead of waiting for any test results, we should go to the ER right away to get him seen. Hours later, he's seen and admitted due to high blood pressure and hematuria.

We found out that he has high levels of creatinine in his kidneys along with the high BP. All of this seems to tie together with his vasculitis, I suppose. What we thought was gonna be an overnight stay has turned into several days with of testing and blood drawing and even a kidney biopsy.

We were told he'd end up staying over the weekend, but we had hopes of him heading home sooner. Instead, we were told they might have botched the biopsy a bit.  It might not have been successful enough and there's a high chance of him staying a whole extra week because they'll need to do ANOTHER one after we get the results of the first one.

Needless to say, that break I was gonna take, didn't happen, and I've just been... existing between the home and hospital.

If he doesn't get to come home tomorrow, there's a really high chance I just end up doing that small housekeeping update that I was gonna mix in with Richard's update, because if they keep him through the upcoming week, I just won't be at home to work on a full update.

TLDR:

Husband has been in the hospital since Wednesday and might have to stay even longer, I have hardly had any time to rest, and I might have to do that housekeeping update instead of Richard's update because I'm not home to work.

We're just playing the waiting game right now, so I'll update this post when I have more news to share.

UPDATE:

First of all, thank you all for the kind words and support <3  It means a lot to me seeing all of it. The last week has been one of the most stressful weeks I've ever had, and there's just been nothing going on in my head other than the stress and worry.  So really, thank you all for understanding and being so supportive.

The husband is back home (which is great!), but we're still trying to get answers between lab tests, the kidney biopsy and a visit to a rheumatologist today (they're trying to get the lab results that we've been trying to get). He's still not feeling the greatest, but he'll hopefully have some medication tomorrow that'll make him feel better.  We're still doing a lot of waiting, but I feel like we have a bit more direction now.

With that said, the update -will- only be a housekeeping update.  I don't feel like I have the time to do a proper update, so the update only the 1st will be a minor one.  I have some images I'm adding into the Spencer epilogue that I imagine folks will enjoy!

Anyhow, thank you again for the supportive words and all of the love.  It really means a lot to me!
