More Lung Infections

Late last week I received word that the MRSA lung infection is gone. However at the same time I found out that the Serratia, which has colonized in my lungs, has grown enough to be noticed. Then earlier this week the Infectious Disease doctor decided that the Serratia has gotten bad enough that it needs to be treated. So I am now on a 2 week course of Tobramycin inhalation treatment. I now have had one form or another form of lung infection since mid September 2011.

Finally No MRSA

I just received the results of my latest sputum culture which showed no MRSA. This is GOOD news; I have been fighting this MRSA for 8 - 10 weeks. Of course it showed Serratia, but then that organism is colonized so I always have it showing up.
