late night adventures

Last night( Monday, the 26th) around midnight we ended up back at the hospital.. Fortunately Andrew was staying with us for a few days and was here to help to get Michael into a wheelchair and up to the hospital, as well as give him a blessing before we left. He started having severe pain in his chest, back and shoulders. They have done a ct scan a chest x-ray as well as blood work, and nasal swabs. They are unsure of the problem. They think there might be some problems with his lungs. They don't know what is causing the pain, but it has been severe enough that he has been crying when his pain meds start to run out. When we got Michael up to the unit Andrew suddenly turned white and looked like he was going to pass out. The nurses ended up getting him on another bed, so here I was with the two of them on the beds in the hospital room. Luckily Andrew recovered fairly quickly with some rest and juice and I left Michael about 3:00 in the morning to take Andrew back to the apartment. There was a touch of humor in the whole situation. Andrew has had that happen a couple of times, they are not sure what the problem is. The first time they checked his blood sugar and it was quite low, so some juice and cookies, and laying down cured it fairly quickly. Maybe he just doesn't like hospitals, seen way too much that goes on there. I can't say I blame him after all.
