Ethan is definitely having asthma symptoms, but my understanding is that the CMV is agitating his lungs and he does have a sinus infection confirmed today by a CT scan. No other secondary viruses or fungus so far. An ENT doctor is going to double check his sinuses tomorrow for fungus, but she doesn't expect there to be anything, just a precaution.
His counts were pretty much the same today as yesterday and the doctor is pleased with that.
His sleep is fitful with coughing and congestion, but benedryl sometimes helps. I try to get a dose at 3 and again as a pre-med at 9pm.
I will double check the counts tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestions!
