Back in the hospital for observation

This morning we were happy to see the LaSIX working as he was two pounds lighter.  That mood changed rapidly when he used the bathroom and there was blood in his stools.  Since he is on a blood thinner the home nurse sent us to the ER because he is high risk for GI bleeding.  So off we go.  They took lots of blood and his levels have not varied since he was here last Tuesday so they will just watch him overnight and then he can come home....I think.  He looks good and is impatient to get up to his room where he can control the temperature of the room.  It is freezing in the ER.  The nurses brought me a warm blanket and hot tea.  David has four hot blankets, (three pillows, a urinal and a bedside commode).  I brought his food and meds and so far gave him lunch and 2:00 LaSIX.  I'm experienced with the overworked staff here.  They are all on overdrive so that the hospital investors can see a profit.  Georgetown was better staffed.  Of course he was in critical care there not observation so it could be the standard of care for patients in for observation.
