You should not be fired. You have the right to medical leave (at least if you are salaried.) I have been given medical leave before, though I was only in the hospital for 2-3 days (I can't remember exactly since I was still focused on the medical results (the doctors were talking about sending me to a ICU if my stats didn't improve.) There is a limit to how long they will keep your position open, but it will be longer than a week or two.

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!
