Today has been an "adventure." Medical visits 15, 16, 17, 18 were today! They were all for Nick... And they were not without drama.
The good news is that he's okay. (Well, okay wouldn't actually be accurate, but he will be okay.) The final diagnosis is the flu. Yup-- the flu. :(
This dianosis missed by the Minute Clinic who diagnosed him as having "sinusitis", by the paramedics when Nick had to call 911 from his car today because he was pretty sure he was having a heart attack (he wasn't), and our primary care doctor who took one look at Nick and sent us to the ER. And at the ER before the flu swab, they did about 12 different blood tests and cultures, a chest E-ray, a CT scan and a urine test. He was also very dehydrated-- and they gave him two liters of fluid.
So yeah, Nick was pretty sure he was going to die today. It scared the HECK out of me. I had no idea the flu could be this bad-- he could hardly stand up this evening and his hands were numb all day long (apparently he was hyperventilating, unknown to himself). Please pray he feels better soon and that he keeps it to himself!
