Hi thanks for asking. So the latest update is that the influenza is gone, the bacteria is gone, but now she developed a fungus. They still have to confirmed it but they have to wait a few days for it to grow to make sure it is the fungus they think it is which is called aspergillus. They say she will get better but it takes time. Her lungs looked a little bit better after a week of looking the same. They also had to placed a tube on the side of her chest that goes to the lungs to drain liquid. It's been very hard. We are on day 18. Thanks for asking..

What kind of test did they do to find out it was fungus infection? I ask this because I have copd and have been on antibiotics and prednisone for over a month and nothing as worked. They want to do a scope of my lungs to see what might be fungus growing
