here is the Dorland's verbatim entry for "decubitus:"
decubitus (pronunciation key); pleural DECUBITUS (pronunciation key): Then goes on to explain its various usages as in decubitus position, Andral's decubitus, dorsal, lateral, and ventral decubitis, etc. Specifies plural is decubitus, not decubiti, as does Stedman's Medical Phrase Index, and Mosby's.....anyway, stick to your own opinion, as you invariably will.

Her answer is correct, not yours, and she explained it correctly. Go back and read it again.
