Saturday, November 12, 2011 – We woke up to a beautiful sunrise in the penthouse suite this morning (can’t believe I had the nerve to go and get a fever just so we could spend a Friday night in the penthouse suite!).

My fever has left. I have gotten lots of antibiotics. The nurses here take very good care of me. They came in every two hours to check on me and get my vitals, give me pills, etc. It was annoying to not be able to get a good night’s sleep, but I am glad that they were doing a good job taking care of me.
My hematocrit was so low I got my first blood transfusion today. 2 units of red blood cells. Jacqui says the color is back in my cheeks now. The doctor said I could go home today, but to keep checking my temperature and that I would come in again if I get another fever.
The toughest thing about being at the hospital was getting the car from valet parking on Saturday. It’s great to have valet parking during the week, but if you have to pick it up on the weekend, expect to wait a LONG TIME! There’s only one or two guys working on the weekends, so it can take a long time for them to get your car.

Jacqui and I got to come home from the hospital Saturday afternoon, and we enjoyed peace, quiet, and relaxation at the house. It was wonderful!
