Who needs answers

ok, so a couple of updates.

regarding the CT scan from monday, the pulmonologist's nurse called saying that dr nichols would like to meet us and set up an appointment for another bronchosocopy. this does not entirely thrill me. i'm not sure what he's looking for. but i guess he will tell me this in the preceding appointment. it means, most likely, another IV put into him. i feel like for every IV, drug, or medicine that Isaac receives he is set back a little. his lungs were way louder yesterday, a day after the CT scan, than they are today.

regarding the blood that was sent up to dr ochs. yes, i think this guy's really brilliant in his field, but he and his lab seriously need to get their act together because they seem to lose blood. i am betting they misplaced my blood i gave them in november. and as for the blood that was drawn from isaac on february first, dr ochs had no idea about it; he was sure the nurse who drew the blood delivered it to the wrong lab. when i talked with the nurse she gave me the address and fedx tracking number which all went to dr ochs lab. go figure. i call him back up and talk to some lab guy who says, 'oh yes, we received his blood february the 2nd'. ok. great. dr ochs calls later to say that his lab didn't run that sort of test (the test that would do a count of the different type of lymphocyte cells). ok. great.

anyway, i guess the tentative plan is for us to go up to seattle on tuesday. take some blood, run some tests, and have isaac take a serum containing the benign virus which will demonstrate, hopefully, how functional his immune system really is.

and figure out what's going on with his lungs.

i swear, isaac's just gonna get better on his own without any of these doctor's help. that's my feeling.
