Back at the Hospital

So, I didn't blog yesterday because John has been doing so well. There was nothing to blog. He went to work for 2 days, he's been eating fine, just lower energy. He was thrilled to watch the Giants play in the World Series last night. Everything was going ok :)

Last night I woke up at 1:30 am to John calling my name. He was in the bathroom puking :( I got him some anti nausea pills and that helped a little. But both of us have been up since 1:30 am. John was also developing a fever. The magic number to call the hospital is 100.4. His stayed around 100.1 for a while. Early this morning it got to 102. But he was feeling ok. He was no longer nauseas and wanted to eat. We called the hospital and they wanted him to come in to the out patient clinic. It took some thinking but we decided to see if one of Johns brothers could take him in so I could stay with the kids and get them to school.

So, Jeff comes to get John at 6 am ( and it is snowing). I get kids up and to school and then go to the hospital. John is doing ok. He has no fever an was ready to eat :) They have an iv fluid drip in him and took blood for lab work. They want to make sure he does not have a blood infection, but have to culture it for 24 hours. The Dr came in and said he wanted to do an X-ray too to make sure John does not have pneumonia. So we go down stairs for am X-ray and results come in saying, YES, he somehow came down with pneumonia over night :(

We wait a little longer and find out they do want to admit him. Ughhhh!!! So I make a list and run home to pack for him and to eat some lunch. I go back and unpack for him, take him on a walk and get him some lunch. Then, I had to get home to get kids from school. Now on to do dinner, and Michael has a pack meeting and Abby is babysitting. Oh and the Dr said as long as John is feeling ok he can at least be released for a few hours on Saturday for Jenna's baptism. But best case is he will be home for good.

I HATE CANCER!!! Today has not been a good day.
