First I wanted to say thank you for your continuing positive thoughts and prayers for myself and my husband.
My husband was released yesterday evening against doctor's advice. He has shown some improvement as he is not coughing much anymore. He is still getting out of breath frequently but it seemed to have improved a small amount too.
The culture they were waiting on did not have anything grow after four days & the CT scan did not show much either. There were multiple things that the doctors were able to eliminate which were the more serious issues. So I'm really thankful that the more serious things he could have been diagnosed with were eliminated. That however means that they are not any closer to a diagnosis. The doctor now wants to do a scope to look at his lungs that way.
Since he was released against doctor's orders my husband told the doctor if he started getting any sicker he would head back up to the hospital. So my hopes are the new medications and inhalers he was prescribed on discharge will keep him stable until the pulmonologists can give a more definitive answer on his condition and the treatment for it.
