How are you now?

John O. The blood cleared but now I have pneumonitis so I am on high dose steroids for at least 6 weeks to try and decrease the inflammation and stop the dry hacking cough. I am getting supplemental oxygen. Medication to slow my heart rate. Asthma preventatives. Of course, all is complicated by asthma and obstructive sleep apnea.
