Guest guest Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Just wanted to let everyone know that I talked to Adrienne last night and she said she's been in the hospital since Monday. She was discharged for a week and then readmitted for increasing shortness of breath and spiking temps. They figured out that the fevers she has been having for the past month are probably due to pneumonia. They did a CT scan on Tuesday and found out that she has it in both lungs and it is pretty advanced. She is on 6 liters of O2 right now and in the ICU stepdown unit. Apparently the chest x-rays that they did in previous weeks didn't show the pneumonia and on Monday, the x-ray only showed it in one lung. The CT scan is what finally picked it up in both lungs. I had no idea that chest x-rays don't always show pneumonia, but it's a good thing to learn, I guess. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
