Hi, everyone,
This is sort of an update on Sam's cold. Sam had a cold that started twelve days ago. He has been on an antibiotic for 10 days, and still has a runny nose. I have felt some crackles in his ribs, so the CF team urged us to come in tomorrow. They also said he might have to be admitted if the chest x-ray showed a need for a bronschopy. They said he had cultured serratia bacteria in November and the Augmentin prescribed by his regular ped would not clear this up. The nurse on the phone couldn't tell me anything about serratia or why no one told us about it in December, or why we were told we didn't need to return until February? Anyone ever cultured serratia?!? What is it? I'm scared for Sam.
