Please pray really hard for nick...

That is more hopeful news...they wouldn't let him home if he was seriously critical - and he WILL feel better at home, for sure.

In the USA, some states have a Family Leave Act, which allows for the spouse to take a certain amount of time off to be with an ill husband or wife. Is there anything like that in NZ?

Or - would Charlene feel better being back at work, as she would have something to do?

HUGS and more prayers going out!

No i don't think we have anything like that here,i am not sure though,i think she would rather be at home to be honest, but she has to bring in the money,otherwise they will have nothing,we have a welfare system, but charlene earns good money, so because of that they are not entitled to anything,i think nick is taking holiday pay at the moment, so things are not crucial at this stage, it is further down the track we have to be concerned about.

yes on monday his condition was life threatening, but now it is not, thank goodness, i think they are just trying to save his kidney's now,and remove the autoantibodies that are attacking his organs,still they let him out on sunday even though his blood tests were worse, and then monday it was life threatening, does not give you that much faith in them really.

I just know he will be much happier in his own surroundings as we all are, hospitals are no fun.

Anyhow fingers and all paws crossed for some good news today.
