Husband appreciation. Through sickness and health.

[2015stayathomeWife]

Since this is a marriage and 'life partnerships' sub, so I ought this would fit here.

[ ]

Just want to make this post to show husband appreciation. If you have appreciation to your husband please share it, I love to read it, love lighthearted threads.

--------------------------------------

Anyway, I know old age married couples definitely experienced the through sickness and health, where one sick and the other caregiver for them. Me and my husband we not young at all, but we not super old neither, I'm 37 and he 36 to be exact (together 11 years, married 7 years), but I guess we experienced this early.

Half a year ago, I got very sick. I ran a 105 degree fever for 3 weeks straight and was bedridden in those weeks, oxygen level drop dangerous low I would have die. (I did recover afterwards, but then my hair massively, like massively fall out afterwards due recover from a big illness).

my husband took care of me the whole 3 weeks (the bedridden me).  [ ] He took care of all my intimate needs. 

It not new to him, he was at one leg and my obgyn was at the other leg, he watch the whole time I gave birth with all the mess involved [ ] He and my obgyn both help the baby out and he cut the baby cord. (our son 4 now).

Also, he help me during my colonoscopy, I was weak from those liquids they keep make me drink to empty my bowel.

I just want to say I appreciate and thankful for him everyday, eventhough we not even the same ethnicity or have the same mother-tongue/native language (I'm Chinese, he West African).

Ladies here, if you want to share your appreciation to you spouse, please share so. And remember to tell them how much you appreciate them!

Sorry this happened. Why weren't you in a hospital?

I did, was in the hospital, got treated for the fever (after fever down send me home with fever medication, but after medication worn off fever spike right back up again), got send home with oxygen to recovered, took me 3 weeks to recovered. At home recovered was bedridden, oxygen was in my nose 24/7. Took me 3 weeks to finally able got back the strength to get out of bed. 

Our toddler was with my MIL (his paternal grandma) in that 3 weeks, ofcourse no mother would want their son to get sick too. It was just my husband by my side day and night to take care of me till I recovered. I owe him alot on this, wouldn't make it without him.
