He seems to be reluctant to, or maybe I'm not asking the proper questions.

Your pulmonologist should be able to provide information on how COPD progresses. As far as when it progresses, it is nearly impossible to know.
Maybe ask what you can do to slow the progression.

You need help from two specific types of doctors, an Infectious Disease doc who specializes in lungs and/or COPD and pulmonologist who specializes in unusual infections.
The ER is not the place to manage or treat unusual infections.

All of these infections are hard to treat, and are further complicated by your COPD.

Who has been managing your care?
