Hubby isn’t doing very well. His fever has been going up and down and up and down. Each time it goes down I start to feel encouraged, then it goes back up and I start to worry all over again.
He is weak as a kitten and not eating very well. Try as I might I cannot seem to relax. I just want to have him get well and feel better.
I changed his dressings today and I didn’t like the looks of things. So we went over the list of RED FLAGS the doctor gave us. Fever, chills, swelling, redness and discharge from the wound. We had four of the five so Hubby called and the doctor called him back. He told Hubby to chill out totally for the next 24 hours and he would call him in the morning. We are all worried that it’s a more serious infection than originally thought.
So Hubby is asleep, wrapped in a pile of blankets. I keep taking his temperature and making him drink. Right now, it’s about all I can do. I really hope they do not have to put him back in the hospital.
The Stone Mason began to dismantle the fireplace today. They took away a few stones and immediately began to find the faulty workmanship that has lead to the cracking of the stones and mortar. We’re so lucky to have found S. He is a great mason and such a nice guy.
Well, keep your fingers crossed for Hubby. The poor guy has been through enough. Time for the antibiotics to work and for him to feel better!
Sending happy thoughts to you and Hubby. Hopefully the fever and infection will pass without having to go back to the hospital.
Both of you are in our thoughts, and hopefully he’ll be on the road to (proper) recovery VERY soon.
That doesn’t sound good–I hope it just turns out to be a bug and not surgery related. Good luck!
Watch him carefully. I will be thinking about him.
I have my figers crossed that the fever goes down, for your sake as well as his!
I hope he does better tomorrow, I’m sorry to hear that he’s not doing well today. 🙁 Hopefully all your care will scare those bugs out of him!!
Sending you all of the vibes and warm thoughts I can. Keep us posted!!
Yes, please keep us updated if you can! Sending all my positive thoughts your way. I hope everything is okay.
