Overnight stay

It looks like David will be able to experience the newest hospital in the region that is down the street from our house:  The Spotsylvania Regional Hospital.  His platelets are so low that he is not allowed out of bed.  He will probably get a transfusion.  The nurse just took his blood to be typed, changed him into a hospital gown and attached all the leads to the monitoring devices.  He seems OK with this situation and is reading his blogs on his Kindle Fire.  I'm using his iPad because mine was on its last gasp and needed a charge so I left home without it.  We thought that they would pack his nose and that would be all.  Naturally they had to be thorough and did blood work and discovered this low platelet situation that can prevent blood clotting.  I hope that he gets patched up and can get back home fast.  He is in no pain but is just alarmed with the blood clots he coughs up and the dripping nose.  It is not gushing just a slow drip.
