Guest guest Posted July 19, 2003 Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 Christian had to go back to the doctors yesterday because he still has the infection and the medicine they gave him two weeks ago isn't working. They said that the culture he grew is resistant to all antibiotics ... what does that mean exactly? They also had him seen by the ENT doctor and they are going to do another catscan next week. Why would they be doing a catscan? They did one last year but that was before he had his sinus surgery. Could they be thinking about doing that again? Why would they need to so soon? Good news was that his PFT were the best he ever had but he still has this infection. He also has gained weight and we think it is because we have been giving him acid reducers before he eats. Any comments? Thanks you all again. Tina Mom to Christian 11 yowcf and 19 yowocf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great about the rest of the report too . They are sure being VERY through with his care. A very good CF Clinic . Your special wishes are heading your way ....as always LOVE & HUGS, GRDMBEV resistant bacteria Christian had to go back to the doctors yesterday because he still has the infection and the medicine they gave him two weeks ago isn't working.
