I am not sure if I should even write this on here or not, but I am going to.
Yesterday was a hard day. I found out I have an elevated WBC so had to go to my doctor and get a shot of Rocephin and start on oral antibiotics. No big deal..... but it explaned why I have been feeling ugly.
After that we went to a local hopstial to visit a friend of ours who has been on a vent since last Friday. We are close friends with both him and his wife, they just got married on Dec 9. He was looking better, his numbers were better. He had double pnuemonia. We came home thinking things were looking good.
About 3 hours later we got a call from his wife saying his right lung had collapsed. They had to put in a chest tube.
Around midnight she called us and said he wasn't doing well. We headed back to the hospital then. It is about 30 miles from us. Halfway there she called us and told us he had died.
I can not explain how hard it was to go into that room when we got there. And remember I am a RN and have worked in ICU most of my carreer.
He was only 43....same age as me.
I guess I am still in a bit of shock and just had to write this out.
