Back in the hospital and things are looking much worse this time. Breathing has become a severe struggle. Even mundane tasks around my apt (cooking/cleaning/showering) this past month have had me keeled over gasping for air. Something is seriously WRONG.

So, got some bad news from the Dr. this a.m., my white blood cell/count will not decrease to even "acceptable" levels (after 72 consecutive hrs). I've been given a very powerful steroid to force a decrease, if it doesn't work, I'll likely be moved to ICU for adv care. #NotGood

Quick Hospital update: Most of my major symptoms have been resolved in my first 24 hours of admittance, however I'm staying another day as the Dr's are concerned b/c the pain meds/antibiotics are not addressing/aleviating the main symptom (Pneumonia). Hope to know more soon
