Medical Situation


Bill is in the hospital.

Something happened Friday morning. Bill's hemoglobin dropped to 7 (50% of normal). They admitted him into the hospital for a transfusion. He received two pints overnight. They are keeping him at least one more night and he will get at least two more pints of blood.

The doctor wouldn't talk to our sitter. My mom is out of town visiting the progeny. The progeny's mother just makes him upset. That leaves me, and I am in the middle of production of "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest." Yes, my dad DOES come first, but I have 15 other people depending on me to be there, and backing out at this point is not an option, nor is anyone asking me to.

Luckily, the hospital is downtown, same as the theatre. But, not knowing what is wrong keeps me worried. Bill feels fine. He was eating, but they've got him on a liquid diet now. And he hates it. But, that's the way it works in his condition.

I am hoping he will stay in the hospital till Mom gets back from her visit. She can calm him most of the time.
