Plea for good thoughts, please.

The Academic Husband is spending the night in the hospital, after a day of being sick, then an evening in the ER.

He's having a problem with his lower intestine, and they're having to do some more tests to figure out exactly what it is, and what they need to do about it. Nurses and doctors don't make a lot of sense to me when they're trying to explain things at midnight, and they don't yet know anything but what it might be, all of which are words with a lot of syllables. They'll know more tomorrow, and tomorrow he's also having a consultation with a surgeon, so that'll mean they know even more.

On a lighter note, highlights from the evening include:

- The (male) nurse who looked and sounded exactly like Mohinder Suresh from Heroes. Seriously, it was almost eerie.

- AH being asked what day it was when they were judging how coherent he was (after giving him IV gravol, hello), and him going off on a tangent about it being the Ides of March. Even while on drugs, the history scholar in him runs deep. The nurse just kind of let him ramble for a bit, then looked at me, raised an eyebrow, and said "so, that gravol kicked in, huh?" 'Yes. Yes it did,' said I.

And on a making-me-sniffle note, there was the AH--as we were waiting for him to stop being sick for long enough for me to get him in the car and drive him to the hospital--APOLOGIZING for spoiling my evening by making me take him to the hospital. Bless his heart. That's the boy I love.

Please think good thoughts for him.

Will keep my fingers crossed that it's discovered fast and fixed easy. *hugs to you, and good luck to him*

*hugs right back* Fortunately they discovered quickly that it wasn't something terribly awful, and thank God for that. Now we just have to figure out what caused it to happen in the first place.

*hugs* Blame polar bears.

Seriously though, I'm glad that it wasn't something terribly awful, and I hope you can get it figured out.

Oh goodness, sweetie. *HUGS* I am sending every good thought and prayer your way. PLease let us know how he's doing?

[linden-jay.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for the thoughts and prayers. He's doing so much better now, after antibiotics and a week of only clear liquids, but it was really not a fun day at all. *hugs right back*

[tjournal.livejournal.com]

Oh sweetie, I'm sorry! That just sucks out loud. I hope he gets some answers and feels better soon.

XOOXOX

[linden-jay.livejournal.com]

He's feeling tons better now, and actually allowed to eat real food, and we're working on answers. We ruled out most everything that could be really bad, so now we're just working on preventing it from happening again. *hugs back huge*

Of course, you are both in my thoughts. Kia Kaha, be strong.

[linden-jay.livejournal.com]

Thank you, so much. It wasn't a good night, for either of us, but things are looking much better now. Some Spring break, but at least he's okay.

Consider them thought and continuing to be thought, Jay.

*hugs*

[linden-jay.livejournal.com]

*hugs back* Thank you so much. It helped. It really, really did, believe me.

[enkemeniel.livejournal.com]

*send oodles of good thoughts and keeping fingers and toes crossed*

[linden-jay.livejournal.com]

Fingers and toes and all things crossed=good. He's doing so much better now, and thank you.

Oh, honey!

::loves on you hard::

Lots and lots of good thoughts are headed northwards.

Let us know soon.

[linden-jay.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry it took me this long to let people know--my internets crapping out didn't help.

He's doing so much better, and it's nothing horrible. Just scary and requiring further tests.

*loves right back*

[loreleif.livejournal.com]

Eek! I shall be thinking the very best and sending him all the good vibes that I can! *hugs you both*

And yay the Ides of March!

[linden-jay.livejournal.com]

The ides of March part was kind of funny, in a stoned kind of way

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Good vibes=important *hugs back*

[sabrinagb.livejournal.com]

Goodness, honey. *hugs tight* You know my thoughts are always with you and yours, but I will send extra thoughts and prayers up for them to figure out why your boy is so sick. I hope that he's home with you soon and with an easy, simple solution to feeling better.

If you ever, ever need me...I am here for you. In fact, I am going to send you an email with contact stuff, just in case you ever need it.

[linden-jay.livejournal.com]

You're a wonderful friend, and I appreciate that so much, Sabrina-bee.

He responded so well to the drugs, so that was a really good thing. Now we just have to figure out what did it.

And I know you're always there. I loves. MWAH.
