Ed developed a fever, so they kept him a little longer to check out what might be causing the fever. They thought he might have some kind of infection associated with aspirating the food into his lungs, so they gave him some IV antibiotics.
They also gave him a second type of antibiotics, and it turns out he had an allergic reaction to it, so he looked a lot like he had a pretty bad case of sunburn on Sunday.
Today he looks normal again, but is still running a lower fever, so I'm not sure what the plan is for his discharge. Since he does have a fever, he is still in isolation - mask and gloves.
By the way, the noro virus is a stomach virus that causes vomiting and diarrhea, so it's likely that the virus caused Ed to vomit and it got into his lungs.
So, continuing prayers and good thoughts are much appreciated!
