ed's back at orchard park nursing home

Well, the hospital never did figure out what was causing Ed's fever, but they did figure out an IV antibiotic that seems to fix whatever the problem is. So, Ed will continue to get the IV antibiotic at the nursing home for the next 10 days, and we pray that his temperature will continue to be normal.

back to the hospital :(

Ed's temperature went up to 102.7 this morning, and continued to go up after Tylenol. We called the ambulance when Ed was at 103.4, and when they arrived less than an hour later, he was up to 104.2.

We don't know what's causing the temperature. His chest xray looks OK. We'll just have to wait for the labs to come back. It may take several days for the cultures. When I left tonight, his temperature was back down to 101, for which I'm thankful.
