Coughing and can't catch his breath

The longer he lets his hang on, the more permanent damage he could be doing to his lungs. I would show up at the doctor's office and not leave until I was seen.

Or go to the ER and get your doctor's attention that way.

But clearly he needs antibiotics .... and the longer he waits the more irreversible damage he could be doing!

You know I agree with everyone here.. Don't wait MR MARCUS>>> even if it is just a virus, you have underlying PA and Staph and that is going to flare up on you with the virus..

I totally agree we stretch ourselves to the max and wait.. I am queen of that, or I was.. I now am going on 9 weeks of IVs and Viruses because I waited..

A CF center without a doubt should take you the DAY you are sick period... PERIOD... NO matter what, I agree going to a regular doctor is pointless but get youself in the clinics face.. if they can't see you today, then get them to call in a script to cover your bugs.... until they see you TOMORROW..

I am learning more and more how important it is to stay on top of things because it is a fast slippery slope to the pit of crappy PFTS and it is hard is heck to get back...

oh and Mark if you are reading this, please just be agreeable and go, don't argue with your wife, HA

Hope you feel better fast

Okay I just read more.. I didn't realize kiddos just started daycare.. That adds a lot to the story... ..

I used to be the Director of a Daycare center and I swear I was sick more often then I am working in an emergency room.. CHildren are vectors to all viruses and diseases.. and your kids are the perfect age for putting it all in their mouth and then giving daddy kisses....

I have never had so much trouble getting rid of viruses as I did now... I would put mark on some antivirals.. like zicam or something if the doctor says okay, and also not that you want to hear it, but winter is the worst for daycare, sickness doesn't go away till the spring/summer.. no matter how careful you are with your kids.. they just keep passing it around..

So either find a way for the state to pay for at home care for your kids in daycare, like a private daycare, or when the kids are sick, which isn't practical, keep Mark totally away from them... I have been here and done that...

Sorry Julie, Glad you are feeling better... I feel for you.....
