Donna, I just got back into town. Is there a 2nd hospital you can go to?? It is obvious the one you went to is not going to help you.

BUT YOU MUST GET YOURSELF TOGETHER!!

I have been down this road myself as my husband's advocate for MANY years with MANY health issues. I can tell you .. NO doctor is going to take a hysterical woman seriously! Now I don't mean to be harsh .. BUT having been there .. done that .. if YOU don't advocate EFFECTIVELY for your husband .. NO ONE ELSE WILL!! GET YOURSELF TOGETHER .. however you need to. If faith helps you .. get to a church and pray .. call your Pastor and ask for help with this issue. If you have a good friend or family member who can be a strong advocate .. get someone to help you with this. BUT daily 6-7 cups of blood loss for 29 days .. if a 2nd hospital will not admit your husband .. AND make sure they KNOW THIS INFORMATION .. it would be malpractice for them NOT to admit your husband for at least minimal treatment of IV fluids etc. He NEEDS to be in a hospital .. that kind of blood loss cannot be sustained.

I am so sorry Donna .. keep us posted .. this is a very tough journey you are on. Sending you a hug. Katherine
