ER Visit at U of M

Yesterday we had a Christmas celebration with Jan's side of the family. Cale, Jessica, Joey, Jack, and Allison (and the pugs) came for the weekend,too. A wonderful time.

This morning Ron woke up a couple hours later than usual...in fact, I was getting very used to him making the morning coffee before I joined him in the great room, but this morning he seemed to be sleeping in after a busy weekend. He was quite flushed when he got up, had a headache, and had a fever that was soon 100.9. The "transplant rules" are a fever of 100.2 or higher means an ER visit, so I called the clinic, and they wanted me to take him to Ann Arbor - U of M Hospital ER. We are now in a private holding room before his admittance to BMT in patient in Mott Hospital. He probably just has an urinary tract Infection. He is not as sick as he was when admitted in August for a UTI and pneumonia. He has not shown confusion this time. They have already given him a round of IV antibiotics, so although we are staying overnight, I think we will be going home tomorrow.
