Ugh, Four More Days in the Hospital

Terry and Steve are a bit unhappy. Steve hates being in the hospital and this time he has to stay in for four days. His pneumonia needs two different intravenous antibiotics, one every six hours and one every twelve hours and they expect it for four days to fight the bacterial infection they think he picked up in the hospital last time. He's on oxygen and walks around pushing the IV pole and he has respiratory therapy. He doesn't feel too sick, he just has to put in his time. I asked Terry to look into getting physical therapy for him, if the doctor will agree. She was not to happy because she was not allowed to stay overnight with him. Instead, she had a quiet night at home (it was too late to pick up the boys) and went back this morning.

The good news, Steve was still able to have his radiation mask made. They were going to wheel Steve over for his appointment to the adjacent building in between his IV doses today. I haven't talked to them tonight to see how it went. I'll keep you posted when I find out.
