R is back in the hospital. His BP dropped to 50 over something out of the blue and he went into shock. Paramedics transported him to the local ER. Doctors ordered a lot of tests and still can’t identify what caused the crash although there’s suspicion of internal bleeding because his hemoglobin dropped a lot. While here, his gout came back in both feet with a vengeance. Very painful. His diverticulitis is also back (infection in the lining of the colon). We are waiting for a room at UW Medical Center to open up. R has been here more than 24 hours and there’s no promise that he’ll get moved today. The ER is such a noisy place and the poor guy can’t get a wink of sleep. I’ll update when there’s something new. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers, as always. Love, D.
