A dumb question?

In the past two weeks Josh has been coughing up a <b>ton</b> of crap which is unusual for him. I believe the 6 different ABX he's been on recently for sinus are also working on his lungs.

He's frustrated from coughing and is trying to figure out what's going on.

Just now he asked me "if my lung x-ray is unchanged and the PT says I sound great- WHERE IS ALL THE MUCUS COMING FROM and Why can't they hear it when they listen?"

Hmmm- can someone help me out?

Hi Jane,
I can't help you with the x-ray question, but I can tell you that Andrew's lungs always sound great....even after a bronch that shows a ton of junk. I have other friends who say the same thing..that their doc can't hear anything in their lungs.
I'm glad things are moving, though! That's a step in the right direction!

This is just my opinion, so take it for what it's worth.
I can't help but think that because the mucus is so thick & sticky, it becomes one with the lining of the lungs. It probably doesn't move around as easily, so it doesn't make that congested/gurgly sound.??

Have they ever done a lung scan on him? DS has had both CT and lung scans before. The lung scan involved breathing in a radioactive isotope via a nebulizer while scans were taken of his lungs.
