Went to the hospital for lunch this morning. Despite having his first good night's sleep in awhile, hubby was tired. He ate all his lunch, though. (And darn it, I have to quit eating his leftover dessert! Today it was apple pie).
Turns out it is a staph infection. Now that they know what it is, they can zero in on the antibiotic that will work the best. But he's still scheduled to be in the hospital until at least Wednesday.
I'm back at work. It's been nice to dive into my workload and just sort of forget about stuff. But it's always there, hovering at the back of my mind.
Thanks so much for all your prayers and good thoughts. It is very much appreciated!

All right. Enough with the down-in-the dumps posts. I realized that I had way too many of them in the past few weeks and I am bumming myself...
Whew! At least they know how to treat it now.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking good thoughts for you. The first 48 hours on an antibiotic are always awful, but then there should be pretty steady progress.
I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner - that's what happens when I take a break from the internet. Hope he's feeling loads better soon.
ReplyDeleteGreat news on figuring out what the infection is! Hope that helps him with a very speedy recovery. And I know what you mean about diving into work for a bit of a reprieve. It helps a little. I'll keep sending those positive thoughts!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad they have a course of treatment--it is amazing all the waiting that takes place. Hopefully the financial pieces will fall into place, too. Thinking of you...
