The poor guy is still in the hospital. His doctor just called and said that he has a really nasty infection. He got it from the catheter that they used in the ER last week when they needed to get urine. That's what's so frustrating! If they had taken the time to try to do it naturally, he wouldn't be this sick. They were able to do it without a catheter this time in the hospital but I think they didn't want to take the time to help him get the specimen in the ER. And they had a student who needed to do a male patient, so I think that was part of it too. So now he has a raging awful infection that is really only treated with Penicillin that he can't take because he's allergic to it. So they're going to try the next best kind but he'll have to stay in the hospital at least through the weekend for the IV antibiotics. Dr said if he took the pills, it would be $1500 for a ten day supply!!!!! So the plan is to keep him at least through the weekend, if he feels better then he can go home on Monday but will have to return to the hospital daily for the IV antibiotics. I'm just feeling really frustrated and down today. I know he felt so bad yesterday because the infection has settled in one of his testicles and it's all swollen and painful. Being a woman I can't truly appreciate that but my hubby was making all kinds of faces. Luckily I have PTO time at work so I'm getting paid even thogh I'm not working. I don't like to leave him alone because he won't tell the nurses if he has a problem or needs something(you know how older people don't want to bother the staff-Hello, it's their job!) I'm not sure what I'm going to do if he has to go to the hospital every day for the antibiotics. I called Jerry and he can work from home so he said he would alert them that he might need to do that. I've got several siblings that live in town but most of them work and can't just not go to work like me. Please keep Pop in your prayers. I'm off to see him and maybe try to run by work for a few minutes. Thanks!
