U of C Day 20 - Respiratory Infection

So I've been telling you guys that Leo's had this nagging cough that would just not give up. they did a CT Scan of his lungs last night and have determined that he has a respiratory infection. They are worried that it may be TB or pneumonia, but haven't made a final determination yet as to what it is. Because of this development, he has been moved to a different room, which is considered a respiratory infection room. It's still on the same floor in the same unit, just a few doors down. He is still allowed to have visitors, but NO ONE is allowed in the room without a face mask. So if anyone is anticipating coming to visit, please keep this in mind. And please, even more than usual, DO NOT come if you have a cough, sore throat and any other symptoms that might indicate a sickness coming on. Thanks so much for all your cooperation.

Also, I had to have a tooth pulled today (OUCH!) and have been in a lot of pain, so wasn't able to go to the hospital today. It also means that the pain killers and antibiotics they gave me will not allow me to donate platelets anymore. Leo still needs them. So if anyone has been thinking of donating, this would be a great time. Thanks again.

Have a great evening!
