You're amazing - I want you beside my bed when I have to go to hospital next - can we clone you? Seriously, with what you've had to go through it's no wonder you're exhausted. Please take a little time to rest yourself now you know what is wrong with Alan and hopefully he is on his way to recovery. You'll need your energy when they discharge him. Take care - you're in my thoughts. |

He never let on. And here's a good one for you. The lady who does the blood pressure came with the machine. She took his blood pressure and it read 130/117. I said "wrong, take it again". She did and it was 130/108. I said 'Wrong, take it again". then it read 130/42. I said 'well, what do you know, that is an impossibility because he is just fine. She said "I better go and get the manual one". She took it two times. 130/70. I looked at Alan and asked him specific questions. I said 'Alan, during this whole blood pressure thing did you feel palpitations, chest pains, any heart beat change, ANYTHING AT ALL?" He said "no, I feel absolutely fine'. I looked at the lady. She had no comment. Oh, his phosphorous is low so they are giving him phosphorous and will check the level tomorrow morning. He has no fever, he eats like a horse, and this morning they took out the catheter and he peed his head off all day long (getting rid of all that fluid). He announced "I haven't peed like this since I was 20". I guess the Turp worked and the antibiotics are getting rid of the UTI. I spoke to his doctor on the phone earlier and he said he had Hospital induced Pneumonia and a Urinary Tract Infection, etc. etc. He may even go home tomorrow. Now how a 68 year old man who was completely disoriented Saturday Morning can go home tomorrow is beyond me. But then we have had people praying for us. That's a great thing!!! Will update tomorrow. Thanks for all the support. Much appreciated. Melody

So now we are still here waiting for antibiotics to take home. His urine culture indicated a gram negative bacterial infection (small one they said). Hopefully he'll be discharged soon. Keep praying. Will update Melody

Hi Melody,
Just checking in. Thanks for the updates. I am sure it will be nice to settle in at home today, once you both get home. DejaVu |

I know you have your sprouts and Methyl B12; but; you really are AMAZING. I don't know how you keep up with all that is continually going on. Alan sure is the center of your world as you must be in his.
