Neighbors ER – can’t beat it! After 4hrs in the new ’boutique’ Emergency Room I’ll say that I’d go there again ONLY if I have to. 😉 It does beat going to the hospital ER any day. We were seen the minute we walked in and they were extremely thorough.
Yes, after summoning apparently was the only extra strength he had left Neal spent ALL NIGHT awake and in pain. By this morning he asked me to go to the Dr. FOR him to get him meds. By this point I knew he was dehydrated and delirious because he was arguing with me that I could be seen FOR him in order to diagnose him! LOL
Finally, after I texted a medical friend of mine who basically told him to get his butt to the ER or risk dehydration that could lead to kidney failure he finally got going and relented.
Once the Dr. was able to examine him it was obvious something was wrong with his intestine, preferably an infection but they had to rule out a blockage of some sort. X-Rays were taken along with a CT scan and after 4 hours we got the better diagnosis of a bacterial infection and was sent home with antibiotics and pain meds.
I was bored sitting in the chair and took to FaceBook and want to thank all of my friends for the prayers. I do believe they worked. 🙂 Now I need prayers to in order to take care of this patient of mine who doesn’t handle ‘sick’ well. Once he knew we could leave he about ripped the IV out of his arm (he gets very irritable and impatient…to say the least). 😉
So this was my day. We are headed to Mass and I am ready to sit before The Lord and lay it all at His feet.
Blessings
