At some point while in the emergency room, he was transferred to the ICU. Caller says this was probably because of the high fever of 103-104. The nurse told caller they could not get his fever to come down and packed him in ice. The doctor at the hospital contacted the caller to verify his DNR order. The nurse reported to the caller he did vomit again in the hospital. His fever came down on 14feb2021, stayed that night and was released to home on 15feb2021 at about 1330. All vitals were normal. He was not released with medications but told he can use his normal oxygen he uses at night during the day if needed. On 16feb2021 he is really weak, sleeping, not wanting to do anything. Caller says she is not sure if that is from the vaccine or the hospital stay. He told her he got little sleep since they were in and out of his hospital room all night.
