Leze, it sounds like you are perfectly right about him needing to go in and be monitored for a while in the hospital. I know that isn't what either of you would wish for, but if he loses this much stamina BEFORE treatment, it will make it rougher on him DURING. I hope for the best for you both, let us know how things progress.
