Moment of Clarity

in Caring For a Spouse or Partner

I have not been able to understand anything my DH has been saying since his UTI first presented two weeks ago. Today, after he was fighting with the  nurses who were trying to clean him up from his BM in the bed I came back into the room. 

He looked at me and said clear as day “I’m so sorry l’m putting you through this.” And he continued to let me know that we will get through this. 

I just burst into tears. So happy to have him back for a moment and so sad he realized what was happening to him.

    EICy that is a blessing and heartbreaking at the same time!  I hope your husband can know those were happy tears! Just hearing him speak plainly to you if only for a few minutes is something you can hold onto. Prayers for you both. Hugs too.
