Guest guest Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Carol, Is there the possibility of changing Drs. or being referred to a specialty Dr. such as a Pulmonary (lung) Dr.?communication lines open between you and the Dr. Tell your Dr. your feelings about the treatment and that if he is grasping at straws, to please refer you to someone who may specialize in the treatment of PF. Carol, in situations like all of ours, friends and family really don't know what to do, therefore, often do nothing out of fear of doing the wrong thing. Call upon those close to you for help. It is my experience that all most people want, is to be needed and loved. Let those in your circle of friends or loved ones know you need them and their help. Let them know what you specifically need from them or how they can be of the greatest help to you in caring for your precious hubby. If you belong to a local church, make them aware of your situation and need. I know it is an humbling experience, but you would be surprised how often people long to help others and just need to be asked. With summer here, possibly a teenager could come by a couple times a week and help with the animals, yard, or any chores that would help you out. Rest is very important, Carol, rest in body and mind. This a long journey and you will need your strength...and he will too. Reach out and feel the love, prayers, support and strength this group sends to you. May God fill you with His love and joy, as it is the Joy of the Lord that IS our strength. Prayers and love, ALWAYS from all of us. kiss kiss, ~Ginger~ IPF-9/04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have a very organized mind that is equal to your very caring heart.
