Did my research....scarey

I had no clue what rocky mountain spotted fever was.  I knew it came from a tick bite.  And I assumed the fever was a fever...d'oh!  But, I looked it up today and it is a very scarey thing.  He has all the symptoms of very early RMSF.  That is a good thing, cuz late syptoms are very bad and include death!  Ack!  I really thought he was dying.  I told my friend, Beth that.  And now, my fellow nurses are telling me that he should be on IV antibiotics and in the hospital.  Well, we caught it early, sorta by accident, and he will prolly be ok.  Thing is, there is soooo much damage that could have already been done.  He goes back to the doc in 2 weeks after he is done with antibiotics.  This is far more serious than I ever imagined!  But, much better cuz my daughter thought he was having heart trouble.  Hmmmmm.  So, she was wrong, but.....

He still feels like crap.  I am going to work every day wondering what I will come home to.  He tried to do some stuff outside today and just couldn't.  Sad for him.  So, we aren't really out of the woods, yet.  I hear all of  you and I am hanging in....
