Steve's in the hospital
Monday, October 18th, 2010 03:18 amI am only a few minutes ago returned from Inland Hospital Emergency Room, where I took Steve at around 6:30 last night, with a fever in excess of 102.
One intravenous course of some super antibiotic and various tests later, and he was admitted for a day -- or two -- they're not exactly sure. A lot depends on how fast the "good case" of pneumonia clears up. It transpires that, once you've been started on the intravenous antibiotic, you have to finish with it.
Good new is that, by the time the nurse came to transport him from the Emergency Room to the Overnight Accommodations, his temperature was back to normal. They have him on oxygen, which is only scary in retrospect, and he was settled into his room and nodding off when I left to come home and get some sleep, myself.
Good thoughts solicited and appreciated.
