in a room at St. Paul

Steve has been admitted to the pulmonology floor at St. Paul. He started receiving IV antibiotics in the ER to fight pneumonia.

We spent about five hours in the ER. Steve is beyond exhausted. The night nurse is getting him all settled in, and we hope to sleep soon.

Jim and Betty are at our house with Cooper, Katie and Margie. (We left for the hospital after the kids were asleep -- Steve's temperature was high even with Tylenol.)

Julie followed us here and helped for a couple of hours. Then Mary MT arrived with some snacks for Steve and stayed with us until we moved upstairs.

Good night/morning!
