More good news - and smoother sailing!

Ron met with his ENT today - to go over the results of the CAT scan of Ron's sinuses.  Everyone has been concerned the Mucormycosis had set up residence in his sinuses on the way to his lungs.

Dr. Dockery gave Ron the great news - no Mucormycosis in his nasal passages.

He followed up by saying he has treated Mucormycosis - and said - that if Ron had Mucormycosis - he'd be seing Ron in the hospital - not in his office.  Mucormycosis eats tissue and ravages the body.

So now we're wondering - what's going on in Ron's lungs?  Mucormycosis grew from a culture taken from Ron's lungs in June - Ron is being treated for the disease - and thank goodness not showing any symptoms of the disease; we'll find out - in approximately 5 months with another CAT scan of his chest.

Ron is feeling great - better than he has in months.........so we're sailing smoother seas and heading for open water!
