Well shortly after posting last night, he started running a fever and was covered in blankets in our 80* house! He called his doctor this morning and we knew the reply would be back in the hospital and it was.

He had another bout of chills this afternoon, he was chattering so hard it was hurting his muscles! Luckily it didn't last too long, but then the sweating began! It is pouring out of him, but at least I feel positive that it's sort of his body's way of getting rid of some of this inflammation. They are doing tons of blood work on him and had a consult with an infectious disease doc to rule anything out. Since he's been on the prednisone for 2 years now, we are well aware of what a suppressed immune system can do.

His doc let him know up front, she is not rushing him out of the hospital this time and he's there for as long as he needs to be and he realizes this needs to be the case too.
thank you everyone for your prayers and good wishes, you have no idea what you all mean to me.
God Bless you all
hugs

I am glad they let him go to the hospital...that way they can really observe him and get to the bottom of this. I am sorry Kathy, I am praying for wisdom for the doctors and peace and encouragement for you and your dh.
