Today, was a GOOD DAY! Whew!!! Pain level dropped thruout the day from about a 7-8 to about a 1-2!!!! Thank you, God! (and all of you who were keeping good thoughts and prayers going his way.)
He still has a low grade temp. Quite uncomfortable, but not in real 'pain' like he was. Finally moved to a clear liquids (from nothing) - which totally made him appreciate the taste of 'Broth'!! LOL!
The Dr. really feels like the antibiotics are starting to really do their job now...so each day should be a marked improvement. We will take it slow, of course, but he may be sent home as early as Wed...or Thurs.
Due to a couple of glitches... like the brakes went out in one of our cars! (oh, joy!) while I was driving home from the hospital last night... I am fine, but now down to one car. SO...
I will be driving Jr down to college myself. I will likely come back about 1/2 way and then stay over somewhere... then finish up early Wed morning to be back at the hospital by lunch time... just in case they decide to spring hubby early.
Middle son has to work on Wed... so he would have to do the whole 16 hrs in one day...which I think is a bit much - unless you really like to drive...or you don't feel tired from that long of a day.
Well, I'm off to bed...will be on the road by 6am..so no journal tomorrow. I'll be back on Wed to let you know how it goes.
Thanks again, and much love.
