Hello-
My youngest child 1.2 years old has cf and was seen at the hospital this past Friday because of severe coughing fits. XRAY revealed an Atelectasis on his upper left lobe. The clinic gave us pulmozyne and told us to up his chest pt and sent us on our way. We will check in with them early this week but after more research on Atelectasis I am a bit more concerned than the clinic appeared to be.
Anyone else experience this dx and what was the method of treatment/intervention subsribed? I really appreciate all the feedback and I am an avid reader of the forum site I find that it is a useful tool in figuring out this complex disease.
