I finally got him up and he was literally shaking his legs barely holding him up. Hes been on Oxygen full time this past week instead of just at night.

Made him a egg sandwich , Check his vitals and blood pressure a tad low, no fever. About an hour later I checked his blood sugar and it was 295! He is not a diabetic, I rechecked and hour later and only down to 256 then an hour later and 226. So 3 hours and hes still too high. His confusion was getting worse.. I do not know how I got him washed up, dressed and ready to go to the ER, He was almost falling ever moment he was standing up, My husband is not a small guy..Got him in the car.

I had added the last 24 hours on to the med summary of everything going back 8 weeks and all meds he has been on, I sent a message to his boys that I was taking him to the hospital.

We arrived and they would not let me go back in the ER as I suspected, They said they "might" have some visitation Monday, They took him back right away and I was told to go to the car and wait for a call. I got in my car and lost it...They were running all kinds of labs, He was having huge trouble communicating , so they were greatful for all the info I provided but it would ave been better my being there, This God damn Plague !!!!

They will admit him.. I came home, they would not let me see him regardless..... If they dont call me in an hour I will call, I do not know if he will be in a regular bed or in the ICU.. I do not know what IV antibiotic they will be putting him on. He does have his phone and I have texted and no reply and I am not surprised with his confusion.

He was scared that I couldnt go with him and we both were crying, what if that is the last time I see him , And please people dont give me platitudes that he will be fine and I should not think that way,, he has a very serious bacterial infection that 60% of people die from. Yes I am praying hard. If he doesnt make it I will be destroyed.

So if anyone has a prayer or a good thought to throw our way I would greatly appreciate it..
Many many thoughts your guys way.
Im sorry that you both are having to go through this. It's heartbreaking

your posts show the love that you two have.

Much love, and hopeful thoughts and strength to you both.
