Well...We ended up going to the ER this afternoon. John's temp went up to 101 so off we went. After 4 hours in the ER, some IV fluids, blood labs run, a chest X-ray and a visit or two with the (excuse me) very hot Dr. Allison (ER doc), John was discharged with a prescription for some oral antibiotics and orders to stay home and rest. So no work this weekend.
We have a previously-scheduled appointment with oncologist Dr. Nestor Monday afternoon and will be able to follow up on today's activities at that time. As of this evening, John's temp has dropped down to almost normal. So pending any further developments, we'll be hanging out at home, sanitizing gel and antibacterial soap at the ready.
In spite of today's rather hectic events, we came home from the hospital to some kind notes in the mail -- Blum family and Jacque MacIntosh -- your inspiring words were well timed. Thank you. And one of John's business acquaintances -- John Ohler with Howe Sound Brewing Company in beautiful British Columbia -- had left a lovely "care package" at Haggen which I was able to pick up when I went to the pharmacy for the antibiotics. My John must, indeed, be a pretty great guy to warrant such a kind and generous gesture.
I can't believe how lucky we are. We have the greatest friends and family in the world. Your love and support continues to amaze. Gratefully...Nancy.
