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.

I am glad everything turned out okay. Yikes! We love our grandchildren and want to spend time with them.
I thank you for your update. To remind us to always be on guard. Sometimes I think I’m paranoid about the germs. This reminds me to stay vigilant.
