Day 8 hour 5

Tony is still resting comfortably. The machine that breaks up the congestion in his lungs is working well, soon they are going to start tilting his bed 10 degrees to see how he tolerates it. when your laying on your back all day it's like a pool that sits stagnant so the want to keep it moving. Apparently there are a couple of pneumonias that tend to thrive in the hospital setting,
So they took a culture to see which one he has and they are giving his antibiotics specifically for that strain. The nurse says it usually takes 5 to 7 days to get rid of it.
