OK this week in the life of Duke has been truly awful and sucky and totally upsetting.
On friday night my boyfriend went out with a few of our mates in town, due to stupid course work i couldnt go out (kinda glad now) when they were out Del (my ex and scotts best mate) went home early feeling ill. At the end of the night my boyfriend scott went home with dels girlfriend nikki to continue drinking at her and dels flat, only to spend the rest of the night looking after a poorly del.
Come saturday scott wasnt feeling too great when we went out shopping and had started to get a temperature, we imediatly thought it was what del had, had the night previously. However by this point del is claiming he has food poisoning. By Sunday morning Scott was fine but Del was still very sick with a temperature although by his own admission feeling a little better.
As Monday went on through conversations with both del and nikki, del tried to get a docs appointment but there were none available and just for safteys sake nikki took him to accident and emergency where he was admitted to hospital as by this point he was so dehydrated with a high temperature his skin was starting to blister. Nikki phoned me to say del was asking for us and if we could come visit maybe on tuesday when he was feeling slightly better.
However by late tuesday night Del was admitted to intensive care after he collapsed in the ward with what has been diagnosed as Strep A virus. Unconcious he was put onto a ventilator and dialasis machine to try and put as much antibiotic into him as posisble. As he is in intensive care no one but his family and nikki can get in to see him, however after he shouted at almost every single nurse robert another friend was allowed in briefly to keep nikki company. Although he now says it was horrible watching del, basically dead, swollen and attatched to every machine imaginable.
Since tuesday del had briefly woken up and squeezed nikkis hand, come off the ventilator only to be put back onto it. He became concious yesterday but is now completely sedated so that all the machines can do their work. Had a very rough night last night as his stomach acid reached silly levels. All the Doctors can tell us is that he is no worse than he was but he is no better either and that they have done all they can for him we just have to pray now.
Every time my phone beeps i jump incase its news.
*On a lighter note its 6 months today since i got together with my bf*
I took this as part of my research for university, kinda cool photo.
