I’m a wife and mom of two daughters. My daughters are 12 years apart so that keeps me quite busy and a little crazy at times. My life is a jumble of mixed up mishaps, but it’s always centered around my family.
Another Hospitalization
December 5th, 2009 by Connie RobertsI’m losing count of how many times we’ve been to the hospital for someone in my immediate family these past few months. Today there was another hospitalization and it wasn’t my mother. It was my husband, Shawn. All he did was go to our Primary Doctor for his follow up appointment this morning so he could go back to work on Monday.
Instead of getting clearance, he ended up being admitted to the hospital for a high heart rate. His appointment was at 8:15 AM and by 10:00 AM he was in a room, hooked up to a heart monitor. When I got the call, I thought I was dreaming.
I stayed with him most of the day and the doctors came in around 5 PM. They think that he’s dehydrated again which caused his heart rate to change because in a few hours after he got his IV the rate returned to normal. He really isn’t having a problem with the C Diff so they’re not sure why he’s dehydrated. (The C Diff test came back negative Wednesday.)
More blood tests, an abdominal scan and who knows what else tomorrow. Oh and his liver count is high too. There should be another hospitalization next Tuesday for my mother’s surgery. What a mess!

Hey Connie.
So sorry to hear of your continuing difficulties. My prayers are with you and your family.

I do hope the doctors figure everything out soon. At least they are taking every necessary precaution and not saying he’s fine when he’s not. You and your family are in my thoughts.
