pseudomonas

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I just wanted to say thanks for all of the responses about pseudomonas.

I was just curious to see how many people were left untreated upon first

culture.

I have five year old identical twins with CF. Jonah cultured pseudomonas two

times, but has not cultured it in over a year. This was with no treatment. He

has never been " sick " from it until possibly now. We are not sure. He went for

his clinic visit on the 9th and only grew staph. Over the weekend, he has had a

productive cough, so I took him back yesterday and they did another culture. We

should know more by the end of the week, but for now, he is on augmentin. Worry

is really beginning to set in.

My other son, , was sick back in July when he cultured pseudomonas for the

first time. He had been sick with a virus for a week, but just could not get

better. He was hospitalized for 13 days and went home with his PICC line in for

me to do his meds at home. That was scary, but the scariest part was him being

put to sleep for the PICC.

Take Care,

Peggy
