I just recently had my first real strong "REAL" bleed in about 2 months. I thought I had been making real progress, and I had been. And then, for no explanation, BOOM. Bleed time. Previously, I had been having splotches and streaks of blood in my sputum (for the time I mentioned). I told myself I would never let bleeds go unchecked, like I did before when I dealt with them in my own way. I call up the clinic, tell his assistant what is up, she asks me if I have a fever, I tell her I feel fine accept for the bleed, and I haven't heard back from them. Great doctor, good people, but us CF's know, unless something is extremely bad, there mostly isn't anything they can do for us. Mark knows when that is. I can only imagine how run down he is with being a dad for several toddlers. Mark will call the docs when he realizes he absolutely has to. Until then, I would respect his wishes.
