Brought Michael home from the hospital today. We had gone to our friend Tonya's home. She is a registered nurse and has worked in an ER for several years.
When Michael got up on Sunday morning we had planned on going to church. When he got up, he was disorientated and groggy. We couldn't keep him awake. Tonya told me to forget about church and get him back to Wichita to the VA hospital. So we headed for Wichita.
Got to the ER around noon on Sunday. By 6PM they had him admitted. His kidneys had started to shut down and his blood pressure was 66/33. They did multiple tests and he was starting to have renal failure but they were able to get them back to functioning. His electrolytes were imbalanced. So they tackled that problem and then started tackling his breathing problem. He has been coughing up phlegm on a daily basis and it appears to be an infection of some sort.
Well they found an infection but it was a UTI. So he is now on an antibiotic for that. They took him off of a couple of his meds that were not working.
Well I finally got him out of the hospital today around 2. Early enough so that I could take him over to the other hospital in town for his radiation treatment. The doc wants to see all the meds that he is taking at this time. I will have to bring the suitcase in with us tomorrow. Maybe they will take away a few more.
Needless to say, we were a bit scared for the past couple of days. Just hope to keep him healthy for at least a few years longer.
It has turned cold up here. We are due for a cold front tomorrow. Frost warnings on Fri to Sunday. Oh well, winter is coming.
