Not a good week............

It is now Thursday evening..........Bill is still not feeling well. No more fever....no more throwing up. It is really weird. We came home from the trip and he was fine..........transferred well at the airport and into the house.
The next morning he was just so weak. I thought he was just really tired. As the week has progressed I found out he is really sick not tired.

Today we went to his primary physician for a scheduled follow up visit. She found he has a slight sinus infection....fluid in the ears.....and urinary track infection. They sent a specimen to the lab for test and started antibiotics for 2 weeks. March 11 is the soonest we can see the urologist for a follow up to be sure it is just a infection and nothing more. Bill has been having pain in the right side ....in the gall bladder area on and off since about November. So she also wants a G I doctor to check him out....to be sure it just muscular and nothing more. I don't have that appointment yet.

Bill's appetite is a little better but not much. He has not even wanted to go around the pond all week.

Also, today the therapist said if Bill does not make any progress next week. He will have to turn him over to someone else to try a different approach for Bill's walking. He was doing so well before the trip and now he is just so weak and feels nauseous as soon as they start to walk him....so he has to cut it short and just exercise him in the wheelchair.

I hope tomorrow will be better.....he started the antibiotic today. We do have BINGO from 12-2 tomorrow. Then a pot luck supper with BINGO tomorrow night. He really likes that...........we will see.
Greg & Tina are in Mexico.....the Nanny is bringing the two girls by to visit us tomorrow. Lori will be sleeping over with her 3 girls Friday night and staying Saturday until the afternoon. Hopefully a weekend of the children and BINGO will pick him up.
I asked him today if you knew you would be so tired from the trip would you have gone.............YES, in a minute....I would do it again right now...was his response.

I asked at the clubhouse if the two employees there knew anyone that might be interested in sitting...since the other guy didn't work out...

Our subdivision has formed a care group ............they have 15 people who have volunteered........but nobody had as yet asked for any help. We are the first everyone wants to do something to help us. One lady wants to bring music over to play for Bill since she heard he is a musician. Today one of our neighbors Dianne is a nurse came over to stay with Bill while I went to the grocery and CVS to pick up RX. They hit it off very well....he talked to her........she read to him. She said he has lots of good stories and is funny. I glad they hit it off.
She asked to come back on Tuesday and have me show her our routine and how we work together. She plans to come back from time to time and feels with her experience she will be able to take him outside on the porch or for a ride around the pond in the not too distant future.
We will see how that progresses....but it was good to know he was in good hands while I went to the grocery. It was a really good start.
