Thanks for all teh good thoughts, the baby is doing well. He has a virus and the beginnings of possibly a UTI so he is on antibiotics. He will be on eye drops but the doc called his prescriptions into Wal Mart while I took hubby to the VA hospital. Well Wal Mart filled his prescriptions and when we picked them up they had lost them! So they had to refill and were out of the drops. They expect them in today. The swollen lymphnodes she said were more than likely the result of the impending infection, he still has them. His CBC's were fine. They are going to repeat his urine next week.
Hubby is doing better, he is in a cast and on crutches still. He has to follow up with the podiatry clinic. We spent another 6 hours at the VA hospital. The reason he is not on any meds is because he hurt his back in 2000. He fell and blew three disks. After several miss diagnosis and a botched surgery in El Paso texas, he finally had to undergo total lower back reconstructive surgery. He was on narcotics for so many years that regular pain meds do him no good and the hospital said to give him anything strong enough to help would have to go through his regular doctor. So he is just kind of dealing with it right now. Lots of rest, he stays in bed with his foot up most of the day. It is still swollen to twice its size. But he is doing good.

WOW that is a lot to happen all at once. Glad the baby is doing better. Sorry they can't give your DH anything for pain. Have you tried icing his foot down - it should reduce some of the swelling. I can imagine the meds they would have to give him due to his high tolerances would probably knock most people out for a day or two. Sending you some prayers and hugs for quick healing for both of them.
