Marshall Jones’ MRSA Story

Well, after not eating supper, Marshall woke up at 2 am with signs of low blood sugar again. I got him some juice, and naturally we overcorrected it and about 3 hrs later came up with signs of high sugar. Grrr.

His belly is upset this morning, is a little nauseous.

I went and voted this morning (is Election Day). Since my mother is here, she can’t vote, and of course Marshall can’t vote either (they should do something about hospital patients being able to vote), I thought I had better make our family appearance at the booth. Not that Bush isn’t going to win TX anyway…

Marshall went to dialysis at 7:30am until 11:30, then they took him to surgery to put another central pic line in. They said it would take about 45 minutes, but at 3:30 he still isn’t back. He is going to be in a GREAT mood (NOT)!

When I came back from voting, the nurses were packing up all of our stuff, they were moving us out of telemetry and back where we started in the general medical unit (room 306). One step closer to the door! Telemetry wasnt doing Marshall any good anyway, he has still been crawling out of his skin and picking off the leads almost as soon as they put them on him.
