Nurse came in around 11:30ish to say they were doing paperwork to release Don. Not sure what time but hopefully soon.
I got here this morning around 9ish - Don had eaten all his eggs - thought we had ordered pancakes also but he said they weren't on the plate - hmm - maybe someone got hungry before delivering plate to him haha - not really. Was happy he ate the eggs and he said they actually tasted like eggs - great!!! Got here in time to see Dr. Fuchs and his colleagues. Said everything came back negative - so with diarrhea and temps under control they are letting him go. We will go back to IPOP tomorrow.
Don is taking this anti-fungal medication because of spots they had detected early on his lungs. Nurse said his liver enzymes showed they were up but this could be from this medication - great huh? First time anyone has ever mentioned liver enzymes. Said they don't want to discontinue medication but she will make sure IPOP tests for that tomorrow and if still elevated they could possibly change the medication.
Bri, Louisa and girls are coming for a visit so we are thrilled about that. Not sure what time yet but we will see them at the apartment sometime later.
Okay - it's 12:00 noon so just waiting to be told when we can leave. I will be back to write some more later.
We got back here around 2:20 - Don layed down for a bit and then Bri, Louisa and kids came. We played dress up doctors with everyone wearing a mask and gloves. We just thought we wanted to take this extra precaution with Don just getting home. The girls didn't mind it at all and kept them on the whole time :). Had a wonderful visit for almost 2 hours. Don is going to lay down and I'm going to take a 7-11 trip and get some Popeyes chicken for dinner - I'm so hoping he can eat without a problem.
Went to 7-11 got chicken. Don did pretty good. Had few pieces of chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans. Not alot - but enough that I can say he had more than a little bit but not quite alot. He's so exhausted. Guess after his recent stay in 5B it's going to take awhile for him to get any strength back. But - I hope it's soon. He's going to lay down a bit. He has medication to take by 10 and then he wants a pill for sleeping.
Okay finishing this up now - Don took his medication and will be taking his sleeping aid soon. Hope it works and he can get some good sleep tonight.
IPOP visit at 9:30 a.m. - the Nurse today tried for later but this was the latest they had.
Keep the prayers coming - we need and appreciate them all.
Until tomorrow.........
Love you all!
Don & Muffin
