Guest guest Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 Hey guys, I have butterflies in the stomach now because I just got off the phone with the CF clinic. I had to take Jonah in on Monday for a culture because he was couging a lot Sunday. Well, Psedomonas showed up for the first time in over a year, so they are putting hm in to treat it aggressively. Nothing was done the other two times he cultured it because he was not sick. He's not really sick now, but he is coughing more than usual. I am glad that it showed up since it is there so that it can be treated, but I am so scared to death about him having to get his PICC line in. He has to be sedated for that and I have a horrible time with it. I worry that he won't wake up and I have wasted some time that I could have had with him. I know, it sounds crazy, but I can't help it. He's my baby. His brother was in back in August, and it was so hard balancing time between the two of them. I don't want to bring the other one to the hospital to get sick, but they are identical twins who have hardly spent any time apart since conception. I have a hard time being away from them too, cherish every moment. Well, I have the weekend to prepare myself since he won't be going in until Monday. By the way, how do you handle telling a five year old they have to go in the hospital? Take Care, Peggy mom of Jonah and 5yrs wcf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
