Had to take my DH to the hospital Monday night. His fever had spiked to almost 102 and his being a cancer patient we have to nip it in the bud ASAP. I called his oncologist who suggested we go straight to the ER for blood work and IV antibiotics. So we took a flying trip and they ended up admitting him for the IV antibiotics. The ER doc gave him 400mg of Motrin, which brought the fever down very quickly so by the time we got in a room at 11pm he was fever free. They put him in a room with 2 beds so I was able to use one of them but there was certainly no sleeping to be done! We were on the main hall, which is like Grand Central Station all night long. I know, it's not a hotel so what can you expect. David received great care and thankfully the antibiotics did the trick and he was released to come home last night on the condition that he stay home from work one more day. He willingly complied. My DH used to be really stubborn about stuff like that but I guess he's learning that sometimes you just have to slow down and take care of yourself. We both slept much better after we got home!
Thanks DMH for such great care.
