It's not easy being green.

Today was better. Steve is a bit more "comfortable" and seems to be breathing a bit better. Of course every time the RT {respiratory therapy} people come in they say he has either diminished or no breath sounds. Yesterday the RT guy brought in a student and she was trying to listen but of course heard nothing. So my very helpful husband took a very deep and painful breath and coughed a little and started wheezing. He told her to take a listen now. She was fascinated. Wasn't that nice of him? Sheesh!


Tonight Steve coughed up something, I'll spare my readers the details in case you're having a snack. He started to feel his throat tighten and his voice changed. He sounds like Kermit the Frog. It's a little funny. They were giving him some breathing treatments to help with that when I left.

Oh, and He may not have an infection after all. It might be due to the steroids so they are backing off a little on them to see if the white cell count goes down. The biopsy results should come back tomorrow. Please pray they do and we have some answers.
