Husband in Hospital
The doctors said not to really think about how he got this. This type of yeast is very common (the same type for thrush) and usually harmless. But if it gets into the blood, it can cause all sorts of damage to organs (they were particularly concerned about the liver, heart, and eyes). It is not very common for this to happen, but apparently my husband's CF-caused liver disease makes him more suspectible.
