sounds congested.

[Guest guest]

Hi,

has had a weird dry cough since April. She was on claritin but it wasn't

working. They just switched her to Zyrtec-she had her first dose yesterday.

When she woke up yesterday, she sounded a bit congested. She also had a few

" wet " sounding coughs. I was bothered enough to call CF clinic and her doc said

go on the bactrum and up the nebs and PT to 3x a day. So that has been done but

she woke up sounding worse today.

All this is bad enough but we are supposed to be going to ST. Pete, FL to visit

with my husband's Grandmother and his brothers. has never met her

Great-Grandmother and she hasn't seen her uncles in almost a year, so she is

very excited to go, but now I am wondering if it is ok to go.

Her doc doesn't sound too worried, he is supposed to see her on the 24th and

they said that should be soon enough. I would just hate for her to have to go

back " in " any time soon. She hasn't been in the hospital since October 2000,

but I'd like to keep her out for more time. Can anyone else think of something

I can do at home? I am thinking that I should put her up to 4 nebs and pts a

day but I can't think of anything else...........I am great when it comes to

other people's problems but when it comes to ours, I just get too upset to think

about wheat else I can do.

Thanks for any suggestions,

Mom of , 4 w/CF
