Oh, lack of competent care is stressful when you are already feeling ill.

Can you give us all an approximate location - maybe you can ask for referral to Mayo, National Jewish Health, University of Texas, Tyler or another place specializing in Bronchiectasis. Or, if you continue to get worse, maybe it is time to get to the emergency department of the nearest large hospital with a pulmonary unit?

Thank you Sue. Yes, care is hard to come by in small towns. I will closely monitor myself, I have been doing a lot of reading thanks to this group!
I live in Grass Valley, CA. About an hour and a half from Sacramento, in the Sierra Nevada foothills.
I found a pulmonary doc in Auburn who is booked out three months, I am on the list. UC Davis is a possibility but they also are saying it is a long wait to be seen.
I am going to continue the Levaquin for a total of 10 days I have seen a change in the color of the sputum, it’s lightened somewhat.
Thank you for responding. 😊
