Update on Cezar's Condition

​Xray result confirmed that Cezar has pneumonia. Doc wants to admit him but we refused since there are no available isolation rooms in the charity ward which may put Cezar at a greater risk. He was talkative at the ER (Doc says he looks 'inadmissible' but they always want to make sure hence the suggestion of confinement) and was answering most of the questions (I usually do all the talking lol). We signed a waiver to be sent home and medicate here. We were given symptoms to watch out for that could indicate a worsening condition (whole day of fever, lethargy, etc) and prescribed strong oral meds to be taken through PEG.

Cezar says he feels fine and also didn't want to be admitted. He says he can't eat sotanghon at the hospital and it also wouldn't be practical to heat food at home and bring it to UERM   His feeding kit is also an issue since sterilizing them is a lot harder when done in the public bathroom plus the fact that only one watcher is allowed per patient. I asked him to let me know if we need to rush back to the ER and he agreed.

He is now sleeping and feeding. Meds will be given after dinner when he has had something heavier to eat. Prayers, prayers, prayers! With God nothing is impossible.
