My wife is on her second evening in the hospital and we are not sure how soon she will be coming home. Her pneumonia, or whatever it is, just got out of control.

One one hand, I’m glad that she’s able to get rest and has people taking care of her, but on the other hand, lupus is really confusing and few medical professionals really know much about it.

We’ve never had to deal with a prolonged hospital stay before. I’m getting some help with the kids, but I want to be there for them as well, which leaves my wife alone at the hospital. She hates being alone, and I feel bad that I can’t be there all the time.

I’m not sure this post had much of a point, but I’m sure I’m not the only person out there dealing with something like this. Send some good thoughts our way, if you can.
