Well it is Christmas Eve and we had to go in hospital on Monday, Dec 22nd. I have been posting when I can to Facebook but have neglected getting on the blog. We have been going 2 steps up and 3 or 4 back it seems. Dealing with the passing out with the blood pressure dropping and the stomach infection which has really got him down. We were on 14 days of meds for that (the infection he acquired while in the ATC(Ambulatory Treatment Unit) isn't that great! But he was tested again on Monday for that and it is still there so new medicine starting today which we hope will attack the infection and get rid of it.
This morning his blood count is way down so he is getting a blood transfusion. Potassium was high yesterday so they would not do the EGD (scope of his stomach). Poor guy went 16 hours without eating 14 of which he couldn't even have water to drink basically for nothing because they didn't do the scope.
We are so hoping they will get a grip on this so he can start to get better. He is so very weak.
I haven't left since we came in Monday so I am sure my clothes are getting a little familiar to everyone but you know I just don't care. I was going to leave yesterday to take shower and get fresh clothes for both of us. But we kept waiting and waiting for them to do the procedure and then once we found out last night Dan had started getting real sick to his stomach so I didn't want to leave him.
Once the doc comes in and we see exactly what the next steps are I may run to the house and shower and get some things he needs for up here. Of course he is hoping we go home but I am afraid that will not happen.
We want to wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for everyone including ourselves.. We Love and miss all of you and hope to see you soon.
Cherish all those precious moments you get with friends and your loved ones!
Dan and Rhonda
