<br />When my husband had a big drop like that. They put in the hospital that night and he was there for 3 weeks </end quote>

<br />Hospitals are great places to pick up really bad bacteria. My team and I avoid hospitalizations, unless I feel I'm just too sick or weak to stay at home. It's only happened twice in 29 years, and I was only in for 3 days.</end quote>

<br />Well they are very VERY careful at his hospital. They limit visits and amount of people that can be in the room and floor. You can't come if you are sick even just a little. He gets a private room and the nurses must always wash in front of the patient and wear gloves and mask. I mean hospitals are never truly safe (I have seen that first hand myself) but I think they do take precautions as much as possible here. Not to mention he dropped 30% of his lung function so he didn't really have a choice that time. They pretty much rushed him. This is the one and only time he has been admitted in his life. Never needed to otherwise so far. *knock on wood* Thanks for the heads up though. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I would recommend signing up for a half marathon or a 5K--the training for it is awesome. I run a 5 K a couple nights a week after work and I swear that is instrumental in maintaining my PFTs. I also haven't had any lung infections since starting my running schedule.

My son's just dropped from 80 to 72. He pondered putting him in for Ivs but decided on a course of antibiotics at home and a bronchoscopy. If the bronchoscopy shows anything, they will start the IVS. He has been feeling pretty good also.
