In the Hospital

I have Stan in the hospital tonight.  The reason he was sick was that he has a bladder infection.  The doctor we saw at Urgent Care was concerned that the infection might be hard to treat in someone his age (?) so she gave him IV antibiotics.  Problem was, he should have been better by suppertime, but he wasn't.  He wasn't better by today.  The doctor had told him to come back today to get another blood workup, and his white cell count was twice as high, as well as his creatinine.  So off to the ER we go.  And after the interminable long wait, he was admitted and is settled in for the night.  They will load him with fluids and antibiotics and watch his kidney function-something they are concerned about.

Prayers are appreciated.

  1. Oh my, that does not sound good. Praying that they find the right antibiotic to work for him -- sometimes it's tricky. Praying for you too --" be anxious for nothing but in everything with prayers and supplications giving thanks" -- hard to do, but all we really can do, right? !

  2. Hope he shaks that infection quickly.
