Due to the infection in Lauren's lungs she had an bronchoscopy done yesterday where the doctors inserted a probe with a tiny camera and a suction cup on the end of it. They said they saw lots of mucus in the area where the air passage splits off. They squirted water in her lungs and then sucked it up, to see what grows.They got a lot of gunk out her lungs, so her lungs sounded much better and cleaner. They said they didn't see anything unusual, and it wasn't as bad as some lungs they have seen. There was no bleeding but a lot of inflammation and irritation. Once the results of the cultures come back, we'll have a better idea what she is dealing with. Lauren was also spiking a fever when I left so they added another antibiotic to her mix of other antibiotic and anti-fungal medicines.

We have no idea when we'll be coming home. We were very fortunate that Dr. Dhall was concerned enough to order a CT scan on Lauren's chest, otherwise we wouldn't have caught this infection until it was really bad.
