Thanks to everyone who has expressed their care and concern over the past 10 or so days (I've seriously lost track - lol). I've had to return to work (alas, the world kept revolving while we were holed up in the hotel). Jim is resting and doing better day by day. He still needs oxygen to get through the day (especially when he exerts himself much), but we've been assured that this is normal with the severity of the pneumonia that he has. He's finally able to sleep laying down and I'm hoping that this will help him get the rest that he needs to fight this stupid thing!
He's a little over a week through the course of the antibiotics so hopefully he will start to see a large improvement soon. The doctor we saw on Friday didn't clear him to drive a vehicle by himself yet because his resting heart rate is too high and his heart rate when just walks down the hall is beyond normal (but that's all normal when your system is working that hard to breath). Hopefully by Wednesday he'll be doing better... he has to... the hotel won't have any more rooms available for the night...
I'll let everyone know more as I learn more :)
Thanks again! My friends are the best :)
