My Hubby...

This has been the week from hell!! On Tuesday Hubby came home from school not feeling good and running a fever of 101. This continued all night. At 4:30 am he woke up saying that he wanted to go the ER. So at 5am we left for the hospital. He explained what had been going on all night to the nurse. The dr came in and told us that they wanted to do a Spinal Tap to rule out Spinal Meningitis, this was a concern for them since he had the high fever and a really bad headache. The test for that came back with nothing! So the dr tells us that he is showing bacteria in his urine. So they are thinking that he has an Urinary Track Infection. So 8 hours later they send us home.. Oh and did I mention that when they sent him home that his temp was still 101! I really couldn’t believe that they sent him home with out trying to get his temp down. As the afternoon went on his temp kept getting higher. It was 102.6 I did what I could think of plus what my mom told me to do. Rub him down with rubbing alcohol, cold wash cloths. And so on and so on… So finally I called his Dr. and he told me to get an old fashion thermometer and take his temp again cause the digitals he finds even the ones that is used in the office can be off, and for me to tell him to take a tepid bath. So I went and got it, and Hubby got in the bath. When I took the temp next it was 103!! So I called the dr again, and this time he told me that because of the Kidney transplant that he had to take him back to the ER.
So I did and we went through it all again….. and this time the kept of for 4hrs and sent us home saying that it was an UTI and that he would run a fever for a couple of days don’t worry take the meds that we got earlier in the day…. Oh yea when we left again his temp was 101…. So we go home and sleep most of Thursday.. In the afternoon the ER calls and tells me that if he is still running a fever and not feeling good that I was to bring him back up, they did some blood cultures and one of them had started growing bacteria. So here we go again take 3!! Apparently it is not a UTI that he has but they are finding Staph in his Urine.. The dr in the ER goes that is weird…..

So today Friday Hubby is in his private room he was in a really bad mood when I first got to the hospital today but he seems to be improving they are pumping him full of antibiotics and his fever has finally broke…

It really pisses me off that they could have started all of this on Wed when I brought him into the ER.. Either time especially after the 2nd time when his temp was 103.

Well right now that is all I feel like writing .. I will update more later as it goes on. He is going to be in the hospital all weekend… and maybe Monday and Tuesday don’t really know at this point…
