Absent any other information, I don't think that was an unrealistic expectation. I also think @Pea-n-Me provided you with a very valuable and informative different perspective, in terms of how the illness may resolve in a less than perfectly linear fashion. FWIW, I would have been like you - assuming that now the diagnosis is made and the treatment has been started that he'd just improve every day, and I'd have been equally alarmed by the set-back.Thank you for clearing that up. I misinterpreted what you were saying. My biggest fear is that I’ll lose him so I’m touchy about even a thought in that direction.
They all know I am the one to talk to because he literally doesn’t have any blood family besides his ******* brother. I know they have some papers for me so I’ll get them tomorrow when I go back up.
I do have to keep that in my mind. I think I was under the impression that he would just continue to improve every day and he’d be home by next weekend. Not that he’d be 100%, but that he’d be healthy enough to leave the hospital.
I talked to him a few minutes ago and he’s ok, but utterly pooped out from yesterday. So, my expectations have been adjusted and it will take as long as it takes.
