My doctors still believe I have Eosinophilic Pheunomonia. So far, my blood cultures and other tests have all came back negative for infection, be it viral, fungal or bacterial. That also means I'm not contagious, which is good.
I was able to walk the hospital halls yesterday without oxygen. My breathing is still far from normal, but it's getting better every day. My doctors tell me if I remain on this track and continue to do well, they're going to send me home tomorrow! Yes! Finally!
I still be taking a pretty healthy dose of Prednisone, but that's okay. It does wonders for my appetite anyway. Speaking of that, my weight is still slowly rising too. I weighed in at 183 this morning. I'm still about 10 pounds lighter than I was before all this started, but I'm definitely on the right track for gaining it back. (Probably thanks to Taco Bell.) Ha-ha.
Daniel - my camera is unfortunately stuck at home, so I haven't had the chance to take more pictures with it. My wife brought a lot with her for me at the hospital. Everything but the kitchen sink actually. But when I return home, I'll get back to that! Promise.

Taco bell....skittles....whatever it takes!! Glad to hear that the doctor might let you loose tomorrow!! That is awesome! If, for some reason, you don't get out, don't get bummed. It will happen soon! Remember, this should do it. You made it through all the other crap. I will get the bubble ready for you :)
