Day 5 in Hospital

Last evening was another struggle with fever. I had a second chest x-ray last night and they reported early signs of pneumonia. They added another antibiotic to my pole....Vancomycin. I have shortness of breath, but not much of a cough or chest pain. Today I saw marginal improvements. I felt good in the morning and fever free, but by the afternoon I had a temp peak of 101. Tylenol brought it down and made me feel better. This evening I had a chest CT to get a better picture of what's going on in my lungs. It appears the fevers may be caused by viral pneumonia. Praying for a fever free night!!! Hope to go home by Wednesday. Good night. Love, srb
