Okay, I was able to bring Jim home today finally. YAY!!
His acute kidney failure was not due to health issues like diabetes (thank goodness)
But rather working outdoors in the heat/humidity along with taking Lasix/Spironolactone (diuretics) and his blood pressure medicine, Jim got severely dehydrated.
At moment, they have him off those meds that I listed above.
Blood pressure still running low.
He appears more coherent, alert and talks better.
Where as before, he was spacey acting, not all there. Just not 'right'.
Hoping his thought process will clear up as well, being as it has really interfered with his airbrushing.
Only time will tell tho.
And his appetite is slowly coming back.
But he has lost 20# since January (and no, that is not a hashtag....lol)
I spent the weekend on the road, going back up to where we left our trailers and had to bring them back down to where we are now (240 miles).
To which Jim got kinda let down that he could not go home sooner, but I was not able to be there for him due to retrieving our 5th wheel and concession trailer.
Jim's doctor specifically told us under no circumstances, is he to be out in the sun for any length of time until further notice.
I said no problem, he'll be laid up in his recliner for the time being. Ha.
So it seems that we will be off work for 2-3 weeks, depending on how Jim progresses.
Once again, thanks to you all for your kind words!!
I really appreciate it
