DS came home from the NICU with it. Had a junky cough/bronchitis. Apparently the one he cultured Enterobacter Chochlae (sp) is common in hospitals/nicu's from improper handwashing/fecal material. While the NICU was great about handwashing and hand sanitizer, we suspect it was from the RT's -- at the time the would go from crib to crib with a common bottle of albuterol kept in a pocket of their scrubs. While they wore gloves, they'd still pick up each baby and hold them up against their chest to do CPT and nebs -- no gown. Anyway, DS was put on Tobi and Septra and they had us increase CPT to at least 4 times a day. We were told if he didn't get rid of it, they'd put him on Cipro, but because he was so little preferred not to do so because of concerns with cartilage. He DID get put on Cipro when he was 4 for pseudo, but didn't have any reactions.
