@colleenyoung Thank you so much for checking. I am sorry to report things are not going good. I am very worried and sorry he decided to have the procedure. We saw the Urologist yesterday. He is leaving the catheter in until Jan. 6th. Yesterday there was alot of blood in it but the doc said not to worry. A urine sample showed he has some yeast in the urine. Last night he had a fever of 101.8 -started difluconazole per urologist. Also felt a little dizzy off and on. Gave him tylenol to bring fever down. He is sleeping right now and his temp this morning was 100.6. He will take another fluconazole today - wondering if he needs an antibiotic..... I am now thinking "what next" with this AUS? I think it was not a good choice for HIM - maybe fine for others. I am hanging in there and trying to help him as much as I can. Thanks for your support!!!
