I can't imagine how you feel. I know how miserable I was with just my lower back problems. I hope you can make your employer understand how you are affected by colds. Maybe you can find some pamphlets with information about it? I don't know if you can be fired or not, seeing as you haven't been working there a long time. You will need to check into that. I hope your doctor can have some good news for you soon. And, here's a cute pic of Duke to cheer you up.
