Hi everyone...

My husband hasn’t felt well for a couple weeks initially he had a lung infection and took the full course of antibiotics and didn’t help much , he has really gone down hill in the last couple days. Bug /ant bites are infected that he got last week . He was also bitten by a tick, not uncommon at all here. No bullseye rash but those don’t always show anyway.

Basic Blood work , Specific testing for Ticks, and blood and urine cultures are being done, takes 24 hours for culture results and Chest X-ray also done today

He was started on a very strong antibiotic that treats both MRSA/staph and strep.

He’s freezing cold and just literally shakes. He’s very unsteady in his feet. I won’t allow him to walk anywhere with out me right next to him.

If his fever goes above 102 , ( it was 101.4 in the office. ) I’m taking him to the Er over night , if it creeps up tomorrow we will go right back to our Doctor so he can do a direct admit and avoid us having to waste time going through the er. We already have a follow up appt for Wednesday.

The only reason he’s not in the hospital right now is my medical knowledge. They would put him on the same meds while waiting for culture results. I know when to take action. I just pray it’s not sepsis.

So any good thoughts or prayers would be appreciated. Thanks !
