Default Tell Me it's not so

OMG Missy, Husband was in a car accident last friday and needed to be hospitalized for back pain (he has had 12 back surgeries) - He was doing fine yesterday and when I went in this morning he was in ICU - they think he was on to many pain meds and while he was sleeping he aspirated into his lung(s). (He has COPD as well) anyway now he has an infection in his lungs and was running a fever this morning. I am so scared after reading up on the PML, et al. It has been one heck of a day to say the least - I just came home for a few minutes and am my way back to the hospital he is in a very good local community hospital, not Maine Medical Center. I printed out the info from the web on PML for the nurse to give to his primary care dr. - his Neurologist is at Maine Medical - I dont know if I should have him transferred - I am soooo scared - I have not told him anything about the info I found on the side effects of Rituxan, and I feel absolutely numb!!!!!
