Hello Everyone,

It is easier for me to keep folk informed about Ivan's current hospital stay using our blog.
He thought he had the flu, but by Wed. night his fever soared to 104 F and I took him in to Emerg. at our local hospital. They did many tests and so far they state he has pneumonia, a urinary infection and he is being treated for both as well as supervision to keep his fever down. 
He felt encouraged today as Dr. Myhill Jones provided him with medication he breathes in that breaks up the flem.  He said he coughed up a lot, and now is breathing with more ease. 

We are also wondering if he may have Dengue fever (mosquito related, subtropical) and they will test for that too. But rest is needed. He has his Kindle, his Ipod and music, and a private room. It was a scary week, but I think we will see improvements this week. 

Ivan was so anxious to get his garden in, start swimming and get back into his Canadian routines he was resisting accepting this illness until it over powered him. But he is now accepting his situation and glad to get the care he needs.

We are all making sure he is comfortable and has what he needs and I will keep everyone informed on this blog hopefully with good news in the coming days.

There is no phone at this small hospital, so just email me and I can print up any greetings
