    Feel better Apex!

    For those of you not on Facebook, Apex is a bit under the weather, and is in the hospital (nothing major, but more precautionary measures). Please send a bit of your positive thoughts towards him and say hi!

    Wow...any idea what it is?
    Am I alone here? Is that it?
    Am I the only one who sees.

    Maybe we can learn to be just like him.
    Wear a little uniform.
    Yes, sir.
    No, sir.
    Thank you, sir.

    he was there since thurs due to strep a and pneumonia bacteria infection which needed immediate attention. he still needs antibiotic treatment for the next six days via iv so we would have to go to the hospital to get that done. currently, his white blood count is good since the bacteria was found in his blood. the only other thing that he is dealing with is a massive headache due to a spinal tap that he had on tues. thank you for all your prayers and thoughts. please pray that i won't get sick from taking care of everyone.

    Wow... sounds like he's on the mend though now, scary stuff. must be they suspected meningitis and that's the reason for the spinal tap. I'm guessing.

    Hope he's out of the hospital and recovering at home by now.

    yes!! very much so

    those infections can be brutal

    years ago i had a broken femur and had a rob in my leg plus multipule screws. when they took the hardware out <large incision fulllength of my hip> i got an infection in there. roaring staph infection and osteomyelitis. Did feel sick, just got really cold on a nice august day which was strange, by the time i got to the hospital temp was 104.5. SPent two weeks in there having four surgeries to drain and clean out the wound, plus was on iv antibotiotics the whole time in addition to another 6 weeks after i got out. Had to wear a waist pack with a pump and an iv bag. They gave my nuclear weapon drugs too. the drugs burned so bad that they had to pull the iv <from my inner arm> and move it to a chest cathater. Doc said if i had waited another hour would have been dead was a pretty nast situation
