Not bad news
I talked with the pulmonologist again after he reviewed the CT. He thinks there are fewer nodules but wants the official report from the radiologist. There's some new ground glass opacity, which usually indicates pneumonia, plus air around the heart, which is caused by the pressure on the ventilator. These factors could account for the fact that her breathing hasn't improved. Also, she's got a fever and low BP this afternoon. Hopefully the fever is just from the bronch and will go away on its own by morning.

Been thinking about you all day long. This "not bad news" is good news to my ears, Alison! Tomorrow's a new day and I'm hopeful that it will bring with it "not bad news" but... "good news"!
I hope that Adrienne's fever breaks SOON and that you're both able to get some sleep tonight.
Love you, both...

Hope you haven't bitten all your finger nails down ; ) I'm sure today has felt like an eternity. Hoping that from what you've heard so far about the tests done today that you are a little less anxious about the final reports tomorrow. Still keeping up the prayers and good thoughts.
