Hey everyone.

Dr called he does have pneumonia as I expected. His liver enzymes are elevated also. All his basic blood work is off of course due to infection further that just pneumonia.

His temp last night went up to 102.6.

If his temp goes to 103.5 I’m to take him to the hospital.

We followup with our Doctor tomorrows, blood cultures we’ll be back. Not sure how long the tick titer test will take , I had it years ago and it seemed to take a while. So hopefully that’s improved.

I’m so grateful he got blood work and X-ray done so we made it back to Dr’s office for a double shot of Rhocephin so at least it’s on board.

He had painful urination that getting progressively worse, if he just gets unable to go, he will need a cath, another possible Reason for er

I fully expect he will need to be admitted for IV antibiotics, vancomycin is my guess, and more fluids. I hope that this is sepsis and will be handled and it not go full septic shock , I’m actively stopping my brain from going ... there.

He’s not quite as dizzy today so I’m not as panicked he will fall , but I do jump up when he gets up just as a safety precaution.

I got bits of sleep here and there 30 - 45 mins , and my alarm was set hourly to check his temp and push his fluids.

He has no desire for food , but he has to stuff it in anyway, his antibiotics require a large amount of food or he likely won’t keep them down.

I’m handling this well , I always do. I spend 2 years while my Father was battling cancer staying on top of all his cancer meds while in the hospital and also at the time when he was lucky to be home.

I’m use to major health crisis’s.
