Son had appt today with the infectious disease doctor. AS I thought, it is infection in the bloodstream. The dr in ER Tuesday night just didn't want to deal
with him and in my eyes lied about everything being fine.

Today the dr wanted to admit him immediately and said it is life threatening. But myths stubborn, do it my way or no way son, said he needed to go home first to take care of his boat and dog. The dr and I opposed, but he just would not stay then. So now we are back and he is being admitted but we had to go through ER again. If it weren't a life or death situation, I would not have brought him back.

This, too, shall pass.

Washbe,
I'm so sorry that it did turn out to be so serious, but I was sure that you knew already what it was. We Mothers usually do. I understand completely how you feel about having to deal with your son's stubborn ways making things more difficult. I'm happy that you remembered & you are right, that this too shall pass. And I hope that it does sooner rather than later. I know from alot of personal experience what those all night or week or 2 week hospital stays are like for us Moms. I do hope that you will be able to get some well-deserved rest very soon.
I'm sending you ************{Caring & Understanding Hugs}}}}}}}

I've gotten to the room and am waiting on him to be transferred here. Im a little confused. He was placed on a wing with hospitalists for doctors. This is a huge hospital, but this wing has only20. Beds. And two doctors. Im thinking the dr who saw him this morning refused to be attending physician because son wouldn't go this morning.

Nina Kay

Hey Washbe, I'm not sure that you know what a Hospitalist is, but they are special doctors that manage a patient's care during hospitalization. They are usually available 24 hours a day. I'm finding this on the internet. They've probably put him on a floor with less patients because of the special continual care that he will need. His is not a fix & go problem. It's probably going to take some time with steady IV antibiotics. Maybe you'll be able to get more rest this way.

Yes Nin is correct typically Hospital that have Hospitalist will act as the primary care physician while your private doct may be part of the team these specialist will ensure that everyone is on the same page. We have had them for quite sometime in my area or rather where I am from ....it should give you a little more comfort having him there

I'm praying that both of you are sound asleep right now

washbe2

Thanks for the hospitalists info. I feel better. Drove on home, quietly came in to be greeted by son's.dog, didn't wake my sweet snoring hubby, came to another room and had the dog to come with me so we.are snuggled in bed. I plan to sleep very late.
My son even seemed better when I left. Thanks for the encouragement! Good night..or rather morning. It's 3:20 a.m.!

Prayers, prayers, prayers of comfort for you. Limbo is a horrible place to be. I can only say that I am mentally walking with you through this time.

I too have taken my son's dog. I've had her for several years now. Even though I am not aware of it every day, I am pretty sure there are times when I physically love on that dog in a way I wish i could physically love on my AS.

Our lives are a level road with culverts on each side. To the left are the heartaches in our lives and to the right are the blessings. Each day walking that level road we encounter the heartaches and the blessings. No day is without each, but on any given day the left side of the road could demand more of our attention than the right.

This too shall pass.
