Today marks my 7 month mark. I received my vaccinations that a normal 6 month old would receive. Polio, Hepatitis B, DTaP, Hib, and PCV13 (pneumonia). This is important so I can start building up immunities to these diseases. I was unable to receive the MMR vaccine because it is a live vaccine and I my immune system can't handle that. I don't know when and if I will be able to tolerate those. I know that I can not be around babies who have just had a live vaccine either!
I had another CT scan of my chest today. Unfortunately the report showed increased opacity in both right and left upper lobes of the lungs consistent with an infectious process. I saw the infectious disease doctor, Dr. Chemaly, and he wants me to have another bronchoscopy to determine exactly what infection is still going on in my lungs so that he can target it with the appropriate medications.
I am scheduled to have that tomorrow. Hopefully they will determine what the organism(s) are and he can give me the appropriate antibiotics/medication. Keep your fingers crossed!
No other major changes at this time. My blood counts are all in acceptable ranges....white count at 3.7, Platelet count at 135, neutrophil absolute count at 2.43, and Hemoglobin at 12.0
Sorry no new photos this time!
Thanks again for all your support and prayers!
