I'm obviously not a doctor, but I wonder if your husband has neutropenia? Apparently people with neutropenia oftentimes do NOT show any symptoms, other than increased risk for infections. That could possibly explain why you didn't catch it, but he did. If he is on certain meds, then those meds can trigger neutropenia. I think you should google his meds to see if they carry this risk. Possibly also check your water filters since it sounds like people on oxygen usually require water as part of the humidifier? If you really want, you can ask for a neutropenia blood test if there are other reasons for a blood test (e.g., if he has diabetes, cholesterol, etc. as well). You can test all those conditions at the same time, so you wouldn't be going out of your way to get it tested if you're also testing for diabetes, cholesterol, etc.. Quote:

Hey Blue ... Thanks so much!!! For taking time to look into this further.. Thank you Thank Thank you !!! Yes he has extensive blood work done to rule out neutropenia.. they are also running blood cultures.
We have a well over 300 ft deep, We filter our water, We have sent in a sample of our water for testing.. prior filter and after. We do not run Humidifyers, He hasnt used the water bottle on his Oxygen concentrater for a couple years as that can build up moisture in tubing, We change out his tubing every 2 weeks, But now we are week.. Our Doctor is also frustrated because this infection doesnt want to budge. Im sure next appt on Monday we will be switching to another antibiotic.. We have 2 more oral antibiotics that we can try. The whole goal is to keep him out of the hospital at all costs, because if he catches something on top of this, he wont make it.. Thanks everyone for support.. __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ Last edited by ~Christina; May 13, 2020 at 06:27 PM.. |
