When I returned to the hospital this afternoon we met with the "Hospitalist" (MD in charge of all of the patients on the floor), she informed us that the results of Jon's blood cultures were still inconclusive so she would be keeping Jon in the hospital until Monday so that he may continue to receive IV antibiotics. He will actually need to stay on them for 10 days, however on Monday they will be able to arrange for an Infusion nurse to come to the house, Jon, of course, asked if she was good-looking, the doctor replied, "No, not really.":).
I am disappointed that I can't bring him home today but, at the same time, I want to make sure that the infection is treated appropriately. Dan is on the docket to pick him up on Monday since I need to get back to work now that Jon is stablized).
Jon is still weak and tired so he didn't really seem to mind staying a few more days. He says visitors are welcome but please keep your visit short.
