8 Days to go and Dad's in hospital

Bird 1, 19 January, 2011 at 09:27 Posted on Planning 0 34

As the title says really, I've only got 8 days till I get married and my Dad was taken in to hospital yesterday with a suspected blood clot on his lung I'm so worried that he wont be able to make it to the wedding. Last year he was diagnosed with cancer so that's why we decided to get married then in November he got phneumonia and had a heart attack and now this. He also lives 2 hours away from where we are getting married so I'm worried about him travelling. Feel really low and don's know what to do....

    Oh no that's awful......so sorry to hear your dad hasn't been well. I know its easy to say but try not to worry about it until you know for sure either way. Planning a wedding and having a sick relative are hard enough to deal with on their own, adding in additional stress without knowing for sure will make things so much worse. Hope things work out well for you ?

    Oh I'm so sorry, I hope he gets well soon. Try not to get yourself in a state over it though. What will be will be and if the worst happens and he can't make it then you still have to try to enjoy the day. Do you have a videographer? If your dad can't make it maybe you could watch the DVD with him?

    OH no. I had a Pulmonary Embolus and had to stay in hospital, once they had stabilised me with Heparin I went onto Warfarin & was allowed home. As long as he is well in himself & they can stabilise his blood with Warfarin he should be allowed home.

    Thinking of you and Dad as I know how scarey it is xxx

    I hope the CT shows there isn't a PE. But if there is then try and stay positive, he's going to fight to be at your wedding so I'm sure he'll be ok. Try not to focus on the "what if"s and take each day as it comes. Much love to you xx

    Oh I'm sorry to hear that. I hope your dad recovers quickly and they can sort it with warfarin and he's there to share your big day. Have you got family that can bring him so he wouldn't be travelling alone?

    Hi ladies, thanks for all your replies and well wishes. Dad had the CT scan this evening but no results until tomorrow as no Doctors around tonight. So hopefully we will know more in the morning. He's supposed to be going to have a stent fitted on Monday 3 days before the wedding to help him breathe easier so I'm hoping that can still go ahead. I talked to my Mum about cancelling and she said that Dad does not want me to do that and I'm worried that if I do cancel and he get's upset he will have another heart attack so it's a no win situation. Also with him being over 100 miles away I can't see him all the time. I will keep you all posted when I have any more news, thanks again for all your support xx

    Hi girls, just a quick update. The Doctor has said it was a slight heart attack. They have changed his meds and they will do their rounds on Monday to see how he's getting on and when/if he can be discharged. Stil don't know if he will be able to make it. Only 6 days to go and feeling really fed up!
