The bronchoscopy was a success and....we are home! Dr. Fox said that there was a lot of "snot" and mucus plugs in his lungs and he flushed them all out. Some of it has be sent for cultures, but he said that Bill should be breathing much better. I believe he is, he's not coughing as much as he was, although he is coughing some from the procedure. He also does not have IV meds for home, but the antibiotic he is on is one that conflicts with his other meds and causes abnormal heart rhythms. When I asked Dr. Threlkeld about it, he said the only other choice would be Cipro and it is worse than the Levaquain. He would really have liked to give Zithromycin, but Bill is allergic to that. He just said to have an EKG Friday when he goes to our regular dr.

We got home about 6:30 after picking up meds and going through Zaxby's drive through for dinner. Cat was very glad to see us and she's on Bill's lap now while he's watching the original King Kong.

We have no plans for tomorrow, which is good because I am exhausted. I left for the hospital at a little after 5 this morning. Bill is still very weak when he's walking. He could barely make it up the steps into the house without me holding on to him. He said he walked with physical therapy yesterday after I left, but who knows. I'll have him walk around the house a little tomorrow and maybe do some of his exercises that he does sitting.

That's it for tonight. Mainly just wanted to let you know the bronchoscopy was a good decision and that we are home. Have a happy 4th!
