and also, very, very sick.
He spent Sunday night in the local ER...8 hours to determine
that he did NOT have appendicitis.
Went back to Family Practice on Monday, oh, YES...APPENDICITIS...
rush him to the ER again and wait 10 hours for a CT scan.
(The miracle is that he drank the contrast stuff and let them do the IV
and the bloodwork...which is how we know he is really REALLY sick.)
CT scan was negative, released him to go sleep at 2AM
with NO diagnosis.
Call from hospital at noon to say they saw *something*
on his lungs which MAY (or may NOT) be pneumonia.
He is BACK in the ER awaiting a chest x-ray.
Feel free to pull out your soapbox and rant on how inefficient
and wasteful our broken healthcare system is...
I'm too tired to do much more than raise my fist in the air
and say...GRRRRRRRRR!
Updates as I receive them.
Peace be with you.
