James called me at 6:19 this morning from the hospital. He'd forgotten that today is Saturday and I wasn't up early getting the children ready for school. So much for sleeping in, right?? It was good to hear his voice though. I miss him so much. He mentioned that the results from his two scans two days ago didn't show anything significant so that's pretty good news! The scans weren't as clear as we would have liked (i.e. a fine-cut CT scan) so that a lot more detail would show up but we're still fairly satisfied with the news! Still no results from yesterday's scan though. He's hoping to be released from the hospital today, as am I obviously! The doctor mentioned that his blood calcium level (which was at a 6 when he arrived at the emergency room for those of you who understand that sort of thing...and how it was amazing he was still alive at that point with his level so low!!!) was still dragging a little on the low side as of last night. James mentioned that it wouldn't be and would have actually been just fine had the doctor not disconnected the IV that was GIVING HIM CALCIUM the day before yesterday!!! DUH?!? It's usually prudent to wait until the patient's blood chemistry is STABLE before removing his intravenious meds which were currently being used to fix said problem!!!! I wish doctors knew more about my husband's illness. At times James and I have to explain a lot of the aspects of the disease to the doctors rather than the other way around!
