Salem, is he up for a phone call yet? Let him know I want to call.
No, sorry. He specifically asked me to hold everyone off on calling. He has been through a lot and is not up to phone calls. He said that he truly appreciates everyones care and concern, but no phone calls please.
Now, if he ends up being there for an extended time and gets to feeling better I am sure that he will be glad to hear from everyone. Right now he is just not up to it.
I did mention to him that you have wanted to call. He appreciates that but just is not up for it at this time.
If anyone has been in the hospital you know that is a place that you get the least amount of rest. You have docs and nurses in your room waking you up at all hours of the day and night to take vitals, etc. That in itself can be very exhausting for a sick person. Add testing and blood transfusions to the mix. The last thing that you want is to be squeezing some sleep in through all of it and have your phone ring.
His wife has my number and will call me if there are any changes in his condition.
