I didn't go to the hospital today, DH and his sister and my MIL were there. They told the family to go home and get rest because they would not be allowed to visit while they were doing dialysis.
My MIL went back around 7pm and they said she could go in to see him at 8pm. He tolerated the dialysis well, but they said he would be really tired and sleep a lot tonight.
He has been resting well and does sleep a lot since Friday.
The doctors are really puzzled, all cultures are negative for any type of bacteria. They cultered blood and several different stool samples. He isn't running a fever now but he was on antibiotics. They think that he must have just had a really bad stomach virus.
I know last Sunday when we took him to the ER, there was a young man in there who was in really bad shape, vomiting uncontrollably. And yesterday the room next to where we were staying there was someone in the same condition.
My FIL has regained some appetite, but couldn't eat today before the dialysis. Prayers that the dialysis is not a permanent situation. The Nephrologist said it was about 50/50 chance.
