Guest guest Posted January 30, 2003 Report Share Posted January 30, 2003 Well Dallas had his first hospital stay in a year and a half last week. Luckily he was only in for 3 nights at our local hospital. He had bronchitis and his ped wanted to keep him in for ventolin masks and observation. His brother was jsut as sick, but since Dal is the cfer, they admitted him. He certainly didn't like the stay, but I was expecting it. I'm awfully glad we got on this new ped's patient list. Most other docs just panic and send him to the city. She knows CF a bit more and knew she didn't need to ship him off by ambulance to the Children's, 2 hours from home. He's doing great this week. Both boys are rather healthy. He's back on Ventolin and atrovent, and just finished his antibiotics yesterday (ceftin). Boy what a fight that was. I didn't expect a med that smelled so good to be such a fight to get into the kid. Seems he's had an adversion to oral meds since he started on ADEK..now isn't THAT awful stuff?? We've been putting it in his bedtime bottle, otherwise we'd never get it into him. Does anyone know if there's anything wrong with doing that? I hope it's not affecting it's potency. He always finsihes the bottle, so he's getting the full dose. Anyways..that's what's new here. Colder than all get out...-40 with the windchill..though today seems to be shaping up to be a lot nicer day. Good luck to everyone in their battles against this disease... I'm thinking of you during your surgeries Becky...you're an insperation to us all..you're such a fighter. Hugs to all, Carla mom to Shay 4 wocf and Dallas 22 mo. wcf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
