Yes I have spoken to dr if they cant get him off oxygen completely he will have to wear it at home. They will continue the antibiotics until the cultures come back neg and he at least has to be on it for 18mo. Then if it comes back he will have to take it the rest of his life.

Day 42 they told us that his inflammation is slightly better. The honeycomb in his bottom lobes has worsened since January. They said this mac bacterial infection is a tough one to fight. They are wanting him stronger and more nourished. The oxygen is dropping in the lower 80's sometimes even at rest. He is still using the nonrebreather on 15 part time. Other times hes using 8 or 10 and 15 on nose cannula.
I'm just praying for the best.
