Guest guest Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 Hello everyone, Well, we have survived out first week in the hospital and hopefully, after a sinus CT scan tomorrow, we will be going home to complete antibiotics at home. Shaelin has been much better this time than when he was 18 months. Then he would just run up and down the halls, try to get on the elevators without me and touched or put everything he found in his mouth. This time although he is feeling well and very energetic, he is behaving. I have threatened him with the fact that if he leaves the room once without me, he is going back into a crib! That has seemed to work. His throat cultures have been negative for pseudomonas so they stopped his tobramycin and now have him on Ceftaz IV and oral Bactrim. I have continued him on the probiotics and his stools have been looser than usual but only 1-2/day as opposed to 5-6/day when he wasn't on the probiotics. Thanks for all of your support and advice.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Happy birthday to this precious child. Love Has & will make him strong LOVE & HUGS, grandmoMBEV Update on Shaelin Hi Everyone, Shaelin had an follow-up appointment in the CF clinic S/P being diagnosed with RSV last week. His viral culture showed RSV but his bacterial culture only showed rare staph and normal flora, no pseudomonas, yeah! He is still coughing but much better. No longer coughing at night or vomiting mucus. He is to remain on Bactrim for 1 more week and TOBI until his cough goes away and assuming it does not return, back to normal. I am so glad he is better. I was really frightened when he would waken from a sound sleep coughing and choking on his secretions and I don't scare easily. On another note, Shaelin will be 3 next week. As many of you know, he is a foster child who my husband and I have had since he was 7 months old and finally, we are getting closer to being able to adopt him. Hopefully we will be able to adopt him within the next 3-4 months. It has been a long road but he is worth it, cf and all.
