At the hospital again

Pain is temporary, quitting lasts forever

Josh has been sick all week…I’d had enough. I made him go into the ER at Franklin Memorial this afternoon. His temp went up to 103.5, oxygen saturation level is low, blood pressure is really low. They were going to keep him but his bp kept dropping so they transferred him to RMH however he can’t have visitors. We will be up most of the night, he is getting 3 units of blood tonight. We are pretty sure he is septic which means he has a serious infection in his blood stream. It hasn’t officially been diagnosed yet since it takes the blood cultures about 24 hours to come back. I will leave you tonight with a link on more information about sepsis.
