Update: 2 days.....

Okay, so update from yesterdays appointment. We got to the new clinic(love it), and did PFT's. FEV1 was 93%. Not the worst, but definetly not my best. Then did X-Ray(when you get so many x-rays you can start reading them yourself) sure enough about a fist size spot of pnemonia/mucas. The dr. said it's either pnemonia or a big mucas plug-i consider them the same thing. So she perscribes Levequin, i didn't remember till we got home that insurance doesn't/and hasn't for a while cover it, and for 4 pills it's a little more that $250-for 4 pills. So we call her back, and today she called in Cipro. She's not very happy that I'm not getting Levequin becasue Levequin is a very fast working antibiotic. So we're supposed to call back tomorrow, and if no change at all then we're probably looking at a hospital stay. Which is what mom and I were expecting. So, I will keep everyone posted, if I end up going into the hospital I will try to do a blog update, if their internet has blogspot blocked then check my facebook account, or join/like the group "The Joys of having CF", and I will try to update. I will definetly try to do a blog update tomorrow and let everyone know what's going on. Thanks for all the well wishes. It means a lot. If we end up going to the hospital, it's no big deal :) just one bump in the road of many to come. We've gotten through so many, we will get through this one with smiles and laughter and positive attitudes, as well as the next ones. Love you all!!! ~God Bless
