Thanks so much for everyone's emails and texts. Dan is now home and sound alseep in bed. Around six this evening the doctors said he was allowed to go home. They spent the afternoon pumping him full of meds to settle out his stomach so they could get some liquid into him. These drugs made him really jittery and on edge. He was very miserable and stir crazy all evening. But they finally were able to get some water into him and he kept it down. Then they got apple juice and a while later even milk. They decided he was healthy enough to come home but has strick orders to head back if the pain returns like before. So the official diagnosis is 'stomach flue"... I honestly don't know any flu that could ever be that bad! But all his tests were clear, even the infection that showed on his blood test when he was admitted has cleared up.
He got home and sat up at the couch with us for a while. He took a lap around the kitchen to make sure he was feeling up to it then headed down to the shower. After that he took some graval (the docs gave him some strong stuff just in case). This knocked him out pretty good and now he is sound alseep. I'll update everyone again sometime tomorrow morning.
Thanks again for all your emails! (And thanks to his boss for giving him the whole weekend off!).
