I met with Mr Hussain at the hospital today and the results from the bronchoscopy showed that I have an infection causing the pneumonia. This is good news because I have now been given the specific antibiotic that will clear it up! He thinks that they will work in 2-3 days, but it's possible that the cough won't disappear completely as my lungs are so inflamed from the infection. I may need some steroid treatment in a few weeks time. In the meantime, I'm looking forwards to a quiet house with no coughing, sleeping all night, eating, getting some energy back and being pain free!
