Hi Ann
What a horrible eye opening experience! Thanks for the heads up! Thus far Bob has avoided any illness. Our Mantra is “ Wash your hands, wash your hands, wash your hands, and don’t touch your face!” We will definitely be keeping up with that! I’m just curious was Dave on any antiviral medication? Or medication to prevent fungal pneumonia?

Dave did not have fungal pneumonia. He had an RSV infection which progressed into viral pnuemonia. He also contracted bacterial pneumonia as well. He got both despite religiously taking his BACTRA (antibiotic) and Acyclvir (antiviral), constant handwashing and using hand sanitizer. I guess being around a 20-month old with a slight runny nose and a little cough was our downfall. We both got the RSV pretty badly, and Dave just couldn't fight it off. From now on, we both wear masks when we see our grandson (he's our only grandchild--so far!). We hope we don't scare him. (He lives about 3 hours from us, so we don't see him every day.) Dave, who returned to work today, is wearing his Vogmask and vinyl gloves when he is outside our house. I am wearing a mask and gloves too--at least until flu season is over.
