Day two in the hospital

I got up really early and got to the hospital so I could see John before he went for his CT scan but we were not able to be in his room until 12:30. Amy called me and asked if they should come to visit and I said that is a long way to come and she said they wanted to come. So they made the long drive up Amy, Rich and Alfredo. It was so nice of them to do that for me. I would have gone insane if I didn't have them and Johns sister there with me. They didn't feed John until 4pm because they had to make sure he didn't need surgury. We left him at 8:30 when we got kicked out of his room because visiting hours were over and they were moving him into the step down unit. We came back at 11am on Thursday because that is visiting hours and he was sitting up in a chair. It was a wonderful site to see him sitting not laying flat in a bed. He walked the halls and sat in a waiting room visiting with my parents and Jennifer and Billy that drove 5 hours to get there. It was so nice of them to come. It made me feel good to have family around. Annie came for a few hours also and brought John some candy. Momma brought him cookies. We got him coffee when we could. We left at 8pm and I put him to bed. I told him I was going to work for a while on Friday since I couldn't see him until 11am. So he texted me on Friday morning and said he was being released at 9am. I found him in the cafeteria. I was not pleased that they let a head injury patient leave the hospital all by themselves. More to come

Its been a long time

So I know its been a long time since I posted but alot has happened. The last time I posted I got a call from the hospital saying that John was in the hospital and he was going to be staying there overnight. So after I stopped hyperventalating me and Johns mother went to the hospital. I got to the ER and asked a lady that worked there to take me to my husband so she helped me find him. Before I was able to see him a nurse gave me some info, she told me that John had a fractured skull and bleeding on the brain. I broke down crying and then she told me I needed to calm down so I could go in to see him. She said he was cracking jokes and was doing ok. So we went into the glassed in respiratory room where he was lying on a table with his arm over his eyes. His head hurt so bad and they hadn't given him anything for the pain or it wasn't working. They took him up to the Shock Trauma Intensive Care unit of the hospital and we were able to come along with him up to his room. The nurse asked him and me alot of questions about his health. John started to get tired so I needed to decide if I was going to spend the night or not. I asked his nurse if I could stay the night and he said not in his room only in the waiting room. So I asked if I could check on him during the night and the nurse said just pick up the phone at the door. So it was getting late and John was going to sleep and I made the decision to go home and come back in the morning.
