Dave is in the hospital again and has been there since late Sunday evening. On Sunday I noticed he hadn't eaten anything but a few bites of fruit all day and then only about 3 bites of his dinner, he also slept all day long. I was concerned and made him take his temperature because I felt something was off. His temp. was about 100.2. I was unsure if that was high enough to take him somewhere so he called his mom and she decided he should go get looked at. He went to the ER at UMMC where they gave him some antibiotics and said it might be the beginning of pneumonia. The surgical team made it seem like this happens all the time and that he would be fine and could leave, but then the medical team wanted him to stay. Because he was already told he could leave he left and went to Dialysis at Good Sam. While there his Dr. decided he wanted him to be looked at in their hospital so Dave went to there ER after dialysis.
This is where it gets complicated, it is now Monday morning and Dave is at Good Sams ER where they don't want to admit him because he is post op from UMMC. So they decide to transport him to UMMC. Dave then waited till 4am this morning to be moved to UMMC that is almost 48 hours from when they said he was going to be moved. We are hoping that the antibiotics they have given him have cleared things up and that he can go home today, but that now depends on UMMC. Its a bunch of weird hospital procedures that are causing Dave to stay in the hospital and it kind of sucks.
Either way he is doing much better. He is not in nearly as much pain as he was the week after the surgery and seems to be adjusting to life without kidneys just fine. Still hoping he heals quick so we can get this transplant over with and have things get back to basically normal.
