Thanks for asking...I just got home from the hospital a few minutes ago. Bob is still there and as of today they still don't know where his infection is or what's causing it. Yesterday morning they scrubbed his lungs. The doctor told me the correct word for that as he talking about scrubbing his lungs. When I got home yesterday afternoon I couldn't remember the other word. They've had a variety of specialists either question him or have him tested for various things.
He has had a little bit of fever off and on, but it's not nearly as high as it was when I took him to the hospital last week.
This morning his voice started sounding strange again like it did last week. He said he didn't feel terrible, but he didn't feel well either.
This same thing happened about three or four years ago. He was in the hospital and they were trying to pinpoint where the infection was. They ran tests on him for three days. The fourth day he felt good, the fever was gone, and it was like nothing had ever been wrong with him. They had to let him leave the hospital that day because insurance won't let you stay if you aren't sick. :)
I'm hoping we wil hear something from his doctor today about that lung scrub thing. I know they were able to take fluid or tissue samples if they needed them, but I don't know if they did so.
Oh man, another weird one, much like what Connie's husband is going through. The circumstances and all are different, but them being unable to make a diagnosis is the same. I really hope they are able to figure it out soon and he can get some relief. I know intermittent symptoms make it difficult.
I hope they find out what's wrong with Bob soon. Not knowing is scary.
One of my co-workers has been in the hospital for over a week. He had a strep throat early last week and his fever was up and down. Then early Thursday morning his wife took him to the hospital with a temp of 105!!!! He stay in the ER for hours while they worked on getting the fever down. Finally transferred him to ICU. They found an abscess on his liver and have put in a stint to drain it. They are still not sure that the abscess is the real problem. They suspect a problem with the appendix but are waiting for more test before they take it out. I never heard anything yesterday so maybe they know something by now. This guy is only 28 yo.
