Joe,

I talked to the doc on call also, and he suggested the same. He wants us to

stop the Cipro through the weekend and see if the diarrhea gets better. I hope

that it does, every time that she goes to the bathroom she just screams because

she is in so much pain. I gave her some Tylenol so I hope that it helps. Let

me know how Abby does without the Cipro and I will do the same. Thanks!!!!!

Katy,

Kathy just spoke with our CF doctor and he wants to discontinue the

Cipro and just proceed w/Tobi. He really thinks that the Tobi is

what kills the Pa and said they are beginning to leave off the Cipro

anyway. Because of Abby's good weight gains he doesn't think it is

pancreatic and since none of our others have a virus he's doubtful

it's that. So that's the route we're taking.

bottom is so raw that it is bleeding in places. I have a call in to

the Pulmonologist on call, but haven't heard from them yet. On

Monday night I took her to the ER where my husband is a nurse,

because she was throwing up and had diarrhea and fever, I was afraid

that she would dehydrate, so they started an IV and ran some fluid in

her, they really thought that it was just a stomach virus since my

son had the same thing. Well, my son is better, and it seems that

Piper's diarrhea is worse. Hopefully the Pulm. on call will call us

back soon, so I can let you know what he says. I hope that Abby is

better soon!!!

Joe,

Piper's birthday is July 12, and it is funny how they were both put on Tobi &

Cipro at about the same time, and now both have diarrhea. I hope that they both

get better soon!!

Will do. Abby is not raw but when ours get that way Kathy lets them

sit in a warm tub for awhile, pats them dry then applies Desitin. I

hope Piper gets better and we'll be in touch. Our girls are about

the same age and seem to be going through some similiar things.

Abby's b-day is Aug. 7th.

Just so you both know, when gets cipro diarrhea, it takes a few days for

it to work out of her system. So you may still want to try the children's

acidopholus, or at least get them eating yogurt. Calendula cream or gel (you

can get it at the health food store with the acidopholus) put on before desitin

or balmex, always helped 's raw bottom go away. Pampers used to make

" rash guard " wipes and they were the only ones that didn't REALLY hurt her when

we cleaned her off. This is one med that I really try to keep her off of. It is

very harsh on the digestive system. I hope both girls are feeling bettter soon.
