We received preliminary lab reports on the stuff they sucked out during the bronch on Wednesday. Looks like there wasn’t a fungus hanging out in there and just my normal resistant pseudomonas strand and lots of it. I know I said it can take 2-3 weeks for fungus to show up. I should have specified that I meant it takes that long to identify what the fungus is. I’m guessing that things start growing pretty fast in the lab environment and they check it under the microscope often. Bacterial and fungus look different in the pattern they grow so I’m sure they can tell that everything is bacteria at this point. I don’t believe fungus will show up later but I guess you never know and this is me we are talking about. My body NEVER plays by the rules. We have to wait for antibiotic sensitivities to come in over the weekend which will hopefully be over the weekend. (more…)

The bronch went well yesterday. I was able to come back to my room and not be on the vent so that is a win in my books. They were able to get a lot of junk out and sent off to the lab for testing. (more…)
