Thanks all! Just got back from hosp. He is in the process of getting another unit of blood. The hemocrit (think that is it) has risen to 23 today. Still low as it is suppose to be at least 35 though they want 45. Sd may go home tomorrow but that was an internal medicine dr not the stomach dr that admitted him. He should be in Monday. I plan to get to the hosp about 8. I talked to a coworker today and she thinks they will not fire me if i miss another day because to the circumstances.

I do not understand his diet though. I had been told by admitting dr would be a bland diet. His first meal was a turkey sandwich and animal crackers.
Later he had asparagus with hard edges. Dr had sd they did not want food with sharp edges cause it could rub the ulcer. They have also been giving him carbonated drinks such as diet coke and coffee. ?!? when i asked the internal med dr she sd it would be ok. Will def talk to dr tomorrow.
