Kirk's in the hospital!!

Kirk was just released from the hospital today, June 1st. He had been there since Monday night. He wasn't able to break his 102 to 104 temperature. When I got to the hospital on Tuesday afternoon to relieve Sue so she could get some rest, he was pretty much delirious. I was frighten because his condition seemed to be worsening and he was asking for a blessing. I quickly called Bob and Sue for them to get back to the hospital. After that a nurse came in (who was very good) and saw Kirk standing in the corner because he said it felt better than laying in the bed. She listened to his complaints and put him on morphine and oxygen, and a couple of other meds. By the time, Bob and Sue they looked at me like I had over exaggerated because his condition had improved that much. The problem was he didn't well and his temperature wouldn't break without the oxygen and the morphine. They finally determined he had pneumonia and valley fever. He will be out for the count for a while but we're glad he's starting recover. By the way, he lost 18 pounds in 6 days!!
