Tonight Don is home.

Well, the final diagnosis after nearly 11 hours at the ER is he has gastroenteritis/ileus (or ileitis...bad ER penmanship)

He has to eat like a rabbit ("sip constantly")but only clear liquids (including gatorade) and jello now. He has instructions to see a doctor within 24-48 hours for follow up, and interestingly enough, the Dr. name they gave him is the same one he tried to get in to see on Monday and was told it would be in October. We'll see what happens in the morning when he calls. We're not worried, tho, cause the lady (who is a doctor's wife) that told him to go the ER told him not to worry, they'd see that he gets a Dr. Also, there are several physicians on the board, etc.

Other than this, all the tests they took had good results. He'll still do the stress test, tho. (that's me talking!)

That sounds like he will heal eventually. Tellme via e-mail if this works
