The bad news is: it's an infection of the sinus behind the ears (who knew that there even WAS a sinus behind the ears?!) It's draining into his lungs which have become inflamed and that is why it mimicked pneumonia so much.
He's on a new antibiotic [his poor intestinal flora and fauna are really being hit!] and a breathing thing I've always called a "puff puff" since my mom used them , which should relax the bronchi enough that he can cough up the gunk his infected sinus is expelling.
This may be more information than you really wanted but it is, indeed, the current "Gil update" and I am (for the most part) grateful.
Now for a full night's sleep (hopefully)
