Husband health h'update

[vettecat]

sdavido is doing much better than he was yesterday - the fever is gone, yay! - but he still has the nasty chest cough. I called our doctor tonight b/c SD- felt like he might have fluid in his lungs, and the doctor said I should take him in for a chest x-ray to make sure it isn't pneumonia. So we spent the evening waiting in various parts of the MGH E.R. as we moved through the processing stages. When the results came back, it turned out that his lungs look clear (whew), so they think it's probably bronchitis. Supposedly it'll go away on its own in time... but he's hoping to go back to work on Monday. Taking time off is really complicated when working part-time at three different schools. So we'll just have to hope that his remaining progress will be fast... I don't want him to make himself worse.

Thanks for all your good wishes!

Glad to here it isn't pneumonia. My thoughts are with you. (even as I sneeze)

Thanks - hope you feel better soon too!

I'm so glad to hear he's doing better - bronchitis is a pain but *much* better than pneumonia! I hope he gets better soon; it's hard enough trying to arrange time off (and then catch up) when you're only teaching at one place - I'd hate to think about it with his schedule.

It's pretty intense. I just hope he stays healthy, for lots of reasons.
