Thanks everyone for all the great advice. I did call the CF clinic

and the doctor on call did want to see her especially since she has

yet to have a throat culture done. They took blood and did x-rays of

her chest and stomach and they swabbed her throat. Her chest and

stomach look great. The blood work looked good including her

electrolytes. Her throat does have puss pockets on it and the swab

came up very green. It looks as though the mucus is coming from her

sinuses. We won't know about the throat culture for a while but the

doctor did give her a potent shot of antibiotic and something for the

nausea. She just hasn't been herself since Monday and I have been so

worried. She has never been sick like this before. I am glad I

called the CF clinic. Everybody was so great at the hospital and

they just whisked us in at the emergency and put us right into a

private little room. I will no longer feel guilty for calling the

after hours number. I am anxious to know what the throat culture

shows. She does seem to have problems with her sinuses. I just

wanted to give everybody an update. Thanks for all the help!

Oh Sheila, I'm glad you took her in. Your poor baby! Glad they have her on

the mend.

I didn't reply because I am new to all of this, too, and thought others

would have great advice...and they did...
