It's Tuesday? Boy, I missed a few days

And they were busy. Saturday we had dinner with the Kings and naps during the day. Early afternoon we went searching for peaches....ended up in Coloma and they weren't ripe enough. Sunday I let Dave sleep in and got a lot of yard work done. Watered, mowed, weeded the garden beds....and started laundry. I did one batch of peach jam with the first peaches I bought last week. They look pretty. Dave did good Sunday and stayed up until midnight on the deck, but still confused at times.

Monday Tim took Dave to IV fluids and I left a message that Dave was more confused. They did draw lab work, but I didn't hear anything back. Then came last evening. Dave got up twice and fell, first in the bedroom and then around 6 am in the kitchen. I woke up, he wasn't in bed and he didn't come right back. I went looking for him and he had fallen backwards on the floor. He was very confused and clammy. I had to call the neighbor, Kevin, to help me get him up. He was so confused....calling me doctor and Tim. I asked Kevin to help get him to the car and took him to the ER. Because he fell they did CT scans of the brain, neck and spine. No bleeding in the brain and no obvious tumors on the spine (yeah). But Dave's kidney function continues to decrease and his potassium was very high. They gave him 1000 cc IV fluids over an hour, also got a urine sample and blood culture. He got to drink Kayexalate which decrease the potassium and gives the person diarrhea. It seems to be working. He has a urinary tract infection. Dave gets to have a catheter too! I went to my scheduled inservice in GR while Tim stayed with Dave. Phil and Loni came by too. I got back around 7 pm...working at home the next few days. Dave is starting to get less confused....labs in the morning and we'll go from there.

A very long day, but Dave's safe and getting better and we're together.

peace, love, groove
