Hospital Stay for Peter

Peter landed in the hospital on Sunday Am... he refused an ambulance but took a taxi there.  They got him into the ER immediately and started helping him to breathe better.  He couldn't catch his breath at all and we were told that he has pneumonia and congestive heart failure both.  Don't know where the pneumonia came from the but CHF is from his leaky valve.
He is in ICU in a little hospital in indio, ca called JFK memorial and he is drugged with Valium to keep his stress level down and on two antibiotics for the pneumonia and lasix to get the fluid off his lungs.
He is doing OK and the dr thinks they will keep him for at least 3 days.
I drove the rv with trailer from the polo grounds where we had set up the booth for a show over to the rv park (about 3 miles with a couple of turns) and did OK.  It's cold this morning and am waiting for it to warm up a bit before I ride my bike over to the hospital.
Nougat is freaking out because "the man" is not around, she is so bonded to him that she misses him alot!!!!
It is weird to not have him sitting across from me, I don't want to do this for long!
God is in control and we are both awaiting His pleasure!
