CF doc came in around 2pm (smart man coming in after noon). I always feel better when they come in. I made sure that they have final say on any and all things that are changed and/or added for my treatment while in here because I see so many different doctors while inpatient. I am happy to report that they do indeed have final say. He told me not to worry about that. (more…)

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…)
