We are desperate. Please help us.

    • I really hate having to ask for help but I am not working because I have to care for my bedridden wife and our children 24 hours a day now. Even $5 bucks helps because we are flat broke. It's a very humbling situation. Pray for us!

    • I will offer prayers for you and your wife. :pray:

    You mention that your wife is bedridden. Can she get help at a rehab facility? Usually after surgery for a broken leg, the patient goes to a rehab facility until they can get around on their own, possibly with crutches. They don't usually go home right after surgery. I worked for several years in rehab. 

    The state of Ohio is fairly good, from what I hear, about helping financially with the cost.

    • Meg we haven't been told anything about rehab. She had surgery on her leg a week and a half ago and then on her arm on Wednesday. They have mentioned possible physical therapy but not anything about an impatient stay.

    She went home right after surgery, with no physical therapy? Oh my.....I've never heard of such a thing. Sorry to hear it.

    • Meg she was discharged about 60 mins after the second surgery. We have obamacare and had to drive 3 hours for a hospital to accept us. And the whole time we were there it seemed like they were in a rush to get us out.

    Well, yes, after surgery on an arm, there isn't such a need for rehab. Sorry to hear about your ordeal. When or how long was she discharged after the leg surgery?

    • It may be a little concerning that one so young is suffering repeat fractures from ?minimal trauma. If that is the case, be sure to see a good doctor to exclude potential underlying causes.

    I asked the doctor about a bone density scan and he seemed disinterested. Several nurses have mentioned to us that it was odd for a healthy 32yo woman to break bones so easily. I will try to press them on this issue more.

    • Vitamin K2 is needed for bones as well as Vit D3 and magnesium.

    • Do either of you have family who could help stay with your wife?  Your mother or her mother?  Or a sister or cousin?

    What a big cross to have to bear...  Hopefully your wife will now recover well and not have anymore injuries. :pray:

    My family has been helping out with the kids a lot. My mom helps us watch the baby and my sister has been driving the older kids from school. Still the nights are very hard because the baby sleeps with us. My older sister who is a nun is coming tomorrow for her yearly home visit and I know she will be a big help.
