Guest guest Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 Deb, Will do. We have Abby's regular CF clinic Friday the 11th then to Shands the 15th for the bronch. It seems as though this is becoming more commonplace and our team seems very enthusiastic about what we'll learn from it. Even 5 mos. ago they acted like the risk outweighed the benefit of doing them even much at all and held to the throat culture for an indicator. Even with my low level of understanding at the time right after Abby's diagnosis I wondered how well one swabbing in the throat every 3 mos. would tell the story. I've read some things since then that make it seem as though routine bronchs are gaining in frequency. I've heard about the risks but feel good about this. I'm glad the Shands team is being slightly aggressive as everything I've read point toward the importance of getting ahead of infection before damage occurs. We will remember y'all and will let you know how ours goes. Take care. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
