It was quite a struggle to get this guy out of the sick motel. He was vomiting from all the meds they were giving him and not keeping ANYTHING down, including water. He really can't just stay in here all nice and cozy, we need to go home, and I was fighting for it. So last night I went in to the the sick motel and made a scene, I left and returned at 8:00 p.m. with all four of the kids. When I walked into the room the nurse said "I have strict orders not to let him leave unless he can hold down liquids and pain medication, and he also needs to get to the bathroom by himself". Great that won't happen fast enough I am sure. The kids and I hung out for about 15 minutes before the little guy started to brake down. I got all my stuff and little people together and told Daniel we will be waiting for you in the van, so handle your business. Well finally at 10 pm gave up, we wasn't answering the phone or my text messages, my kids were all over the van asleep, I needed to leave. I call Lisa in desperation for advice, I just really felt helpless. After my sob story she decided that she would leave Napa were she was having a work conference and drive to Oroville that night. This would allow me to stay at the hospital until all the business was handled. She arrived at 12:30 and has taken care of the kids all day. Thank you so much Lisa, you have no idea how much I appreciate your help, I so needed it.
After not taking any meds he wasn't getting sick anymore. I started to give him saltines and water, let that sit for 15 minutes and do some more. Then we got brave and got him out of bed walked to the bathroom and sat him down for a sponge bath. After that he stood up to pee, hug deal. I helped him with lunch, soup and pudding and he held it all down, groovy. But what was crazy is an hour later they brought a solid lunch and said he needed to eat that also, luckily he did, well most of it, I was so starving that I ate some. They finally discharged him after that. Daniel is resting in our bed with way better room service then he was getting at the sick motel. I am glad to have him home and close the tab at the motel. I am so thankful that he is fine and all will heel. He is still going to let me sell those quads, so I really think he gets it now.
Oh when I checked with the business office this morning we were up to $17,000. Holy Cow, I want to throw up just hearing it.

WOW!! $17,000 is a lot. But in the grand scheme of things it is a small price to pay for his well being. I'm glad he is home and doing well. We are keeping him in our prayers.
I'm glad he is home and resting!! You're in our thoughts and prayers, Daniel.
