My honey has a little hic up and had to stay in the hospital. His little fever isn't gone so they did a chest x-ray and they saw some indications of him not breathing deeply enough, the whole lung doesn't inflate or something and could be 'infected'. So they want'ed to keep him overnight with instructions to keep walking and sitting up in a chair for at least an hour at a time 3 or more times during the day. And they showed him how to use the little breathing tube/machine again. He wasn't doing that correctly.

He has his IVs out, and his oxygen isn't being used, they want to see where is 'normal' oxygen levels are since he won't have ox. at home...

But the good news is they will discharge him tomorrow even if it is with an antibiotic.

I was only up at the hospital this morning until around 2 this afternoon. After I got home to let the dog out and have lunch since I hadn't planned on him staying, I didn't have my slimfast and celery/green peppers and grapes with me and I was hungry! Anyway, I phoned him to ask if he minded that i stayed home for an hour nap before coming back up to visit and sit with him. He told me to just stay home and get rested up. After I ate and slept 2 hours, I feel so much better.

Now, I can get some other house work done and be really rested for when he is home tomorrow. Man, I can't believe how wiped out I felt today.
