October 11, 2009 - Sunday 
I saw Pat this afternoon.

Wait, before that....

He's been texting me when he gets up in the morning so that he doesn't call and wake me, and I dont' call and wake him.  We both realize for different reasons that we need sleep.

I wake up, see my phone, and there are 3 messages.  Before I see them I panic that they're going to be emergent......

First one says something about his fever breaking and him bathing in his own sweat.

Then something silly.

Then something sillier in the next one.

I call him, and I hear MY PAT on the phone.

He's alert.  He's with it.


So, I go see him and he's there.  Like, all there.  The fevers broke on and off through the night but are not back as of yet.  They think the part of his lung affected by the infarction has an infection that explains the fevers.  That, and they think he's contracted a bit of a bug or flu.  They keep insisting he must've had it prior to coming but... I don't think so.  Spencer's had a cold off and on, but nothing major.

He got up and shaved.  Man, that was getting to be ONE BURLY YETI in that bed. Every nurse who's had to attach a lead to his chest or tape to his arm keeps saying,

"You're a very hairy man....."

I get the biggest giggle from that.

He was up moving around his room freely without looking like he was going to hit the deck, so there was more relief there.


So for now, at this moment, it looks as though last night was the big bad bang before the calm.

Let's hope that's right.

Well usually when you're really sick like with whatever infection, your immune system gets low...so he actually might've caught the cold from Spencer, but he got it worse cause his immune system was low. Or he could've got it from someone at the hospital too, like ya said.

What matters is that he's doing better! :)

Hi Kids

 
I don't pray much Katrina but I did so last night and all through today.  Proof positive of the power of prayer.

I'm so glad. I was so worried about both of you. I hope this is all over. Keep fighting for answers, don't give up. It just seems so...I don't know. Wrong
Hope you're still staying strong and away from nicotine. Hug your Yeti man extra hard for me. And yourself, too. That last blog had me all torn up.

I have just been so sick about this for days.  This is good to hear.  I couldn't even let the man and the eldest out of my sight yesterday for a couple of hours without perstering them to death worried that they were okay on their day of play.  Again, call me if there is something I can do to help you guys or you just need to vent a bit. :)
xoxo

I've had viral pneumonia before.  It hit like a brick fast.  He WILL be better.  The "Big Guy" upstairs is being swamped with prayers.

Yay! And I just read the previous post. You do know the flu has been going around. Rather flu like symptoms, everyone here has been sick with fever and this crappy lung inflammation. Glad he is getting antibiotics also. Or rather he should be. Surely he is getting antibiotics. Okay, exhale and hope he has a speedy recovery.

What wonderful news! It's so frightening when things like this are out of your control. You've been through so much already. I'm glad he's on the up-swing.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to dance nekkid in the kitchen while holding ones breath?
Glad he broke the fever, and brought your Yeti back to you. Now, to get him home to his chilluns.
