Steve's Hospital Visit
So this morning steve was sleeping late which i like to let him do on the weekends because he gets up early during the week and works long hard days. However i needed to go to Home Depot to get supplies to paint the girls room and i didn't want to take max with me therefore i needed steve to be awake. At 11:30am i went to see if steve was awake yet and he was stirring but not really awake. He saw me so i asked him how he was doing and he was NOT WELL! He had a bad headache, back pain,bad chest tightness,sore throat and the chills. I took his temp and it was 100.4 which is high for him. Since he has been on prednisone for 2 years i didn't want to take and chances so i told him that he needed to go to the hospital. We got there about 12pm and i stayed for a while then took the kids to Mcdonald's to feed them and then back to the hospital to see if steve had been seen yet, but of course he was still sitting in the same spot and had not yet seen the nurse. So we waited a while longer and finally the nurse saw him, his blood ox was a little low and his fever was 102. because he was having the chest tightness they did an EKG to check for problems. Then from there they took him to a exam room, at this point i took the kids home. Since i had not heard from him by 6pm i called the hospital to check up on him. Of course he didn't want to spend the night but they admitted him anyway. We went to visit him or i should say we went to bring him his laptop! He was feeling much better and his fever was gone. They are giving him fluids and IV meds to take care of what they think is some sort of virus. So instead of painting the girls room today i spent the day worrying about steve!
