Results from the fluid that was drawn yesterday came back and confirmed that the infection is a form of Mycobacterium. It's known as Massiliense. The lab called to tell them the news. Fred is scheduled to talk with the doctor tomorrow. At that time the family will know how he will want to treat it. The family is hoping that this doctor will still want to treat the infection with antibiotics for six weeks to see if that will work.
Fred had a pretty good day. Patsy said he even put on his "ole" blue jeans. However, she said that he didn't move from the recliner after that. Maybe he will get the boots on tomorrow.
Preacher Fred and Patsy,
ReplyDeleteGood to hear that the lab has confirmed the cause of the infection. Hopefully now the doctors can get you on the most effective antibiotics and kill this sucker!! Know that you both are in our prayer and that we miss you greatly. If you need anything please let us know!! Tell that doctor you have to get better soon, so you can come to the fish fry!! Love you both!
