Well, Friday, the doc said we will not know results for at least a couple weeks. (not sure why he said to call Friday then!!)

He still thinks it a MAI. Ruth still coughing but feeling fine otherwise.

We are to go to Peru end of this week! I'm a little nervous about the altitude issues with her lung, but doc says should be OK.

Cross your fingers...
