Re: Bad News/Good News/Keep the Faith
Jean, you and I have always had a similar story! It certainly sounds as though your team is taking the more measured, conservative approach. And one which the pulmonolgist who I am NOW seeing (after the horse is out of the barn!) would have recommended. Additionally, the final pathology never did exactly pin point the organism that was present. It seemed to be an old pneumonia. I intend to send it to another lab for clarification. Just letting the dust settle before I start persuing other paths.
Thank you so much for the kind words. Please let me know what you learn as you go along. I will keep you posted as well if there are new developments.
And keep the faith!
