Bless his heart...Ron's episodes continued to get progressively worse throughout the day! Last night he had fever. Today's first episode added uncontrollable trembling to the fever; chills set in late afternoon and tonight's episode had all of these with fever spiking at 103.5! Love the way hubby does things in stages, adding another symptom each time. These episodes tend to increase in severity and length with the first one lasting 25 mins and most recent one lasting 45 minutes. The trembling causes his muscles to cramp and draw up. Once they end, he is TOTALLY wiped out! 

Infectious disease doctor said treatment remains the same; IV antibiotic for 10 days. He also wants us to call him with an update first thing in the morning.

He received his first dose of the new antibiotic this afternoon. Hopefully, by tomorrow afternoon, he'll feel like a new man!
