Pseudomonas leading to i-v antibiotics

[Guest guest]

I'm new to the list and delighted I've found others that may help

me with my concerns.

My 8 yr old son wcf has been battling pseudonomas for a month or so

that we know of.After double vest therapies, triple albuterol, tobi,

and cipro, he is still somehow not able to fight this darned

bacteria off.He has had a colonization before but the tobi knocked

it out.Now drs want to admit him for iv zithromax(sp?) for 2

weeks.I'm scared to death!I have 2 more wocf that are 3 & 4 and I cant

figure out how to juggle my full time job(thats frankly sick of me

needing time off to care for him), take care of my other 2 and be

with my cfer at the same time.Its my understanding that I can learn

how to take care of the iv so he can spend the majority of the 2 wks

at home, but I'm uncertain that I can pull it off.Does anyone have

any imput as to which is the better way to go, letting him stay in

the hospital or coming home?I have dogs and cats.(With 3 kids its

more like a zoo than a home lol)Please respond with any personal

experiences or thoughts you have to the site or by emailing
