Thread Name: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw - home on Saturday!
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw & KarenSpaw
Very funny, ya'll. Just spoke with Karen. He is still "awful" which I know you all will be so glad to hear.:-) However, his fever is still up there, about 102 and they are still giving him meds,fluids, etc. Karen is positive they will get him past whatever virus it is and be able to send him home by Saturday. She is glad he's there and not at home.

She said he will do mind games at home, sucking it up and telling himself he won't be sick; then when he's finally convinced to go in, when they get amongst the docs and nurses, etc. he just kind of lets go and is really sick. I don't think it is a white coat phobia, either.:-)

Yesterday was the 13th anniversary of his heart bypass surgery. Thirteen years!! I am so grateful he has made it this far and am breathing deeply for him. I don't "feel" any panic or anything. I think Karen has a good handle on it. She's going to call me tomorrow morning, after she gets off work, with an update.

We love you, Spawdarlin',
