Sick but better

This is sure to be a short post, but wanted everyone to know that Mark is doing better. When last I wrote, Mark had been put into the hospital for an over night observation. He was dismissed on Monday morning, after having several rounds of antibiotics and steroids with the IV fluids. He came home and by Tuesday afternoon was still feeling rough. He complained that his heart was racing, and he could not sleep. Called the Dr., and he wanted Mark in for an EKG. That turned out to be fine, but Mark's O2 sats were low. After a chest X-ray and a C-T scan, it was determined that he still had the sinus infection and he now also had pneumonia. Mark was admitted that night, and got out of the hospital on Friday afternoon. As punishment for making me take care of him for 2 weeks, I made Mark go to Wal mart yesterday. The walking did him good, and fortunately there are enough benches that he was able to sit and rest when he needed to. Today he is talking about cleaning the chimney, so better go see that he doesn't over do.
