Gosh everyone you are such a amazing kind and compassionate friends

I had to take a break from everything for a couple days. I was spinning out of control.

I wish I had a wonderful update but no... He is still not better but grateful he is not worse. We see the Doctor tomorrow and I'm not sure what is going to happen.. I have no words to express how scared I am.

Thank you everyone for keeping Steve and I in your thoughts and prayers.

Hey everyone..

Today,s Doctor appointment went as expected , Another chest xray and sputum culture. They will have Xray results tomorrow and the sputum will take 48-72 hours to see what it is growing out.

He is very dizzy for some reason, Slow movements. He is talking slow and it reminds me of when he first started Trazodone, 15 mins after he took it he was slurring and zonking out.. I'm keep a watch on him in case there is a stroke , so far its just this odd slur- ish thing, even our Doctor noticed today. He has an Appointment on July 22nd with Pulmonary specialist.

Depedning what the sputum culture shows it will then be decided what the next step will be

Thank you for the ongoing support

Thinking of you and hope the appointment went well.

I posted that right at the same time you posted an update. I hope they are able to figure out a treatment plan with the sputum culture. I am so sorry to hear he is still feeling so poorly.

I am sorry this is such an ongoing struggle for you and, of course, him. Sending you strength and hugs and love and a cleaner CXR.

Well Culture came back, Levaquin did nothing at all.

Last night Steve said he will not go into the hospital.... He said I will be a mess( big deal)..He said he doesnt want to be in the hospital unless I am there to stay on top of everything......

So our Doctor is going to put him back on Bactrim for another 10 days. Our Doctor is really hoping this might help as going into the hospital puts him at risk of more infections..

I so hope that the Bactrim helps. I would not like to see Steve in the hospital, if at all possible. Continue to be strong, Christina!

Major prayers and hugs that this does the trick. It really is so hard on the families (and the patients) to not be able to stay with their loved ones in the hospital - so good karma that Steve starts feeling better.
