Steve's Penn appt

So steve had his Penn appt yesterday at the Penn Lung Center and the drs there seem to have a better idear(did that for steve)! a better idea of what is going on with him. They think that it is being caused by exposure to mold at his office. The office has flooded a few times and steve said that it smells musty there. they have seen alot more cases like his then his pulmo dr has. they want him to take 4-6 weeks off to see if things get better. He just found out today that his boss is going to let him work from home for the month of june, which is GREAT news! i was a little nervous about him taking an unpaid leave for that long, but his health is more important and i am sure we would have managed. Now i am trying to track down his lung biopsy slides, neither the lung center or his pulmo dr have the slides. they were sent to the lung center in january and were signed by someone at the front desk but they went to the wrong place. now UPS has to try and track the package to see if they can find them, very frustrating. hopefully he will be off the prednisone soon and start taking an anti mold medicine? not sure what he'll take but hopefully it will actually improve his lung function. he goes again in 8 weeks so i will keep ya posted.

  1. At last there seems to be some progress toward determining what is going on with Steve. Sounds like his employer better get on the stick and do some mold remediation to get rid of it. Love, Mom

  3. Glad to hear the good news about Steve's medical condition. Hope the month at home actually shows an improvement. (BTW, had my knee operation yesterday and coming along good.)

    Doesn't it make you fee good when you see the results? Makes you wonder why you didn't do it sooner!
