I know this feeling and it is such a defeated frustration. Does Maggie have asthma as well? Since the wheeze responded to the albuterol, it kinda sounds like she might. Has she been allergy tested? Maybe her cough is allergy/asthma stuff instead of CF stuff????? Just throwing it out there, I know that sounds awfully optimistic, but it would be nice if the answer was more simple.

Well, we are back..Her Pft's were not as good as usual. Her sat was good and lungs were clear. So, she got recultured and he put her on Prednisone for 5 days...keep her on the current antibiotic she's on...If her cultures shows her bad bug or something different we'll have a new plan.
Maggie does have inflammatory issues; so she's on Pulmicort...So it goes.
