's clinic visit

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

I just wanted make a quick update regarding Josh's clinic visit. He has been 3

times in the last 4 months. He seemed to have this nagging cough that he

couldn't get rid of.

I didn't go personally, my ex and I usually alternate since we have joint

custody. I had gone the last three times because I had so many questions after

being on this list. I hate to say it but the ex and I are having it out (again)

and I couldn't sit in that small room with him for hours and not want to kill

him! Anyway, my big concern was getting him on the Zithromax. Josh and I had

talked about it between ourselves, I usually try to get him interested in the

new stuff I learn here. I also had printed some of the information Kim had sent

about it. So I did send them armed with information and questions. It seems that

it was all unnecessary! She had paperwork for us to read on it. Josh was so

excited. He said " that's the stuff momma said she wanted me on! " . The doc was so

surprised that we even had a clue! A big thanks to all of you that informed me.

For once I didn't feel like the big dummy that just says " okay " and hands my son

a new bottle of pills that I have no clue about.

So they took a culture which is cool, because I'm not really sure what's growing

in there. As soon as it comes back we can stare the Zithromax!

What is so strange is that his lung functions had already jumped up better than

they have been in a long time. He has been coughing allot in the past few

months, cheating on his treatments, and not taking his med's. I counted his

Cipro last Friday and fussed at him for faking me out. He will go to the kitchen

after being told to take his med's and pretend to take them. He's 14!! I just

don't get it, if you are already up, why fake it?? But the doc's wanted to know

what he had been doing different because his lung functions were so great!!

Needless to say Josh kept his mouth shut! He wasn't about to fess up.

Wow, this is getting long...I'm just so excited for him. Between his PFT's and

new med's we will have gone a whole year without a hospital visit!! Who know's

maybe we will make it 2!
