Thanks! The infectious disease doc just called and prescribed Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) for two weeks. She said if that doesn't show improvement in 5-6 days, then a PICC line and IV antibiotics may be needed.

I was treated with Bactrim initially also. Then tried nebulize Tobi along with Piic line for 10 days. It did the trick. Haven’t got it back nor have I been in hospital. Afterward I had a raging yeast infection through my body and then had to take more meds!
