Dennis still is not feeling up to par. He hasn't eaten solid food for several days now. He has been complaining about numbness in his lips and mouth. When I returned home from work today, he was already in bed. I checked his temperature, and it was normal. Then I checked his oxygen level - it was running at 90%, a bit too low for my comfort.
I set him up with a nebulizer treatment and called his general practitioner's office. By the time the nurse answered the call, his oxygen level had gone up to 94%. She then reminded me to keep him hydrated and keep him warm. I made an appointment for tomorrow, and she assured me that if either of us continued to feel concerned, we should go immediately to emergency.
He is feeling a bit better now, at least he is a bit less anxious. He definitely does not want to go to the hospital, but we have a long standing agreement that he will if I insist. I hope this will pass and no hospital stay will be necessary. I am on spring break as of today, and would prefer that he is at home with me and not in the hospital.
Until later,
Ann and Dennis
