My afternoon visit was much like the first one. Not much to update other than he still has 103 fever. He's getting Tylenol around the clock and has cooling blankets on.
I'm looking ahead into what needs to be done to get him transferred back to PA. It's no small feat that's for sure. They gave me about 60 pages of information to read and applications to fill out, none of which I can comprehend at this moment. Now that the adrenalin from yesterday has worn off, I've gone back to focusing on breathing and taking each moment at a time. I did try to eat but I'm just not hungry. I've been carrying around this banana since yesterday, but it's sort of sad and smelly now. I should probably stop putting it in my sweatshirt pocket. Mostly today I've done a lot of sitting, staring, and spacing out. Making additions to this blog actually really helps, it gives me a bit of purpose when I'm sitting in the hall waiting for visiting hours to start again. This is just one of those times where being alone in Louisiana without my family/friends here just stinks. I really can't wait until he's stable enough to transfer back home.
I'm also still thinking of my grandmother every day, who's still in the hospital at home with pneumonia. Her spirits are high though and she sounds like she's doing well. She's a firecracker.
In somewhat humorous news, after I took a shower this morning and opened my suitcase, I realized the only thing I packed to wear were my HMC ER work t-shirts. I wasn't really thinking at the time. Well, I guess I'm an HMC representative no matter where I go.
