Yesterday afternoon Evan had a bit of a fever and was told to come into the ER. Kit was here and escorted him back to his home away from home (that's a euphemism for his cell at the hospital...he loves it so much there) where they decided to admit him overnight. As we learned this morning, they want to keep a watch on him until Tuesday.
Even though Evan is back in the hospital, he's doing ok. The doctors weren't alarmed to see him come in with his fever yesterday - this sort of thing after the stem-cell transplant is par for the course. So, instead of spending hours watching TV and movies in my apartment, we just moved the party to the hospital today. Kit and I spent some quality time watching Dirty Jobs (featuring episodes in WI and MN!) with Evan. Kit and I even ventured up to the cafeteria. Evan asked about the quality of our food upon our return and with every item - from salad, to pot roast to Sprite - we were advised to avoid it in the future because according to Evan "they screw everything up". I don't disagree with him on this point. So that he doesn't starve to death, I came back to the apartment for some soup and the latest Netflix flick - Don't mess with Zohan. Evan and I dined on some lentil soup (sans sausage, mom) and watched Adam Sandler style blue- hairs. I left Evan about an hour ago as he was getting his growth factor shot.
Evan is going to rest up tonight and I'll join him for another movie marathon and cribbage whooping tomorrow. I'm going to scrounge up some more edible treats for him so that we can bust him out of there on Tuesday.

Hey Guys!!! Marcia here- Evan- hope you're doin better- Alyssa- the cribbage whooping you'll probably just have to deal with! ha ha Your brother is probably ready for the pro tour soon- we have cribbage and euchre leagues up here- something to do in the cold *** winter. Are you guys expecting the "Arctic blast" that everyone else is in for too? Keep him inside. This past Sat. we had a benefit dinner for a family here in Nahma- They lost their home to a fire on Dec. 6th and then Brad came down w/ pnuemonia and was in the hosp. for 9 days. He has asthma also and developed a blood infection while in his "cell" he's home now but still very weak and a little out of it. We were all more than a bit scared. Point- be so very careful @ cold air & windy conditions. Just wanted to check on you and make sure you're as well as possible. Not sure what more I can do right now except let you know that you are always on my mind & in my thoughts. If I can do ANYTHING more concrete or tangible, please don't hesitate to ask!!Talk to you later- Marcia
ReplyDeleteThanks for thinking of us, Marcia! Evan is doing pretty well, just grumpy from being in the hospital. The sooner he gets out, the better, that's for sure! We're hoping to take some drives around the city, maybe check out the lakes for a change of scenery. Hopefully tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteHope you guys are staying warm up there!
