haemophilus vaccine

[eli]

Hi Deb, Um...... .. that's a good question. At Olivia's clinic the are reluctant on doing a culture as it does not tell them what is in the lungs, only whats in the back of the throat, that's what her doctor say's anyawy. They do a yearly Bronch up to age of 5yrs, and then progress to a culture(if that makes sence).

She had her Bronch ni December, and all results were negative. But i'm not sure if they tested for the (Hib). That's something i might have to ask next clinic visit.

Hope this helps.

Eli, this was the first time she had this done and from what I understand, they were getting the sputum out of her lung and not on the back of her throat....I know they pushed/shoved alot of that tubing down her nose...I am so not looking forward to the next time.

Hey Deb, its me again haha..........

I saw Olivias pediatrician today and questioned him about doing a culture on her, ha said that it won't be a nice thing as yet, as she is to young (14mths) they will have to push and shove nd dig deep, just like you said to actually get some mucus out of the lung. She might also have to have pysio prior to the procedure to get any mucus out, he said this sometimes helps.He also said even though they are vaccinated against (Hib) it doesn't mean they won't get it, its usually the first thing they get before they develop Staph or Psudo.

I find it concerning, that they get immunised against these things and they are still able to get them, i quess nothing is 100%.

Thank's for asking Deb.
He said she just has a bug similar to gastro, and she should get over it soon. She has been a little better today
(thank god), but did loose some weight (300grams).
Now we have to work on getting her weight back up. She is 14mnths and only weighs 7.8kg, thats not too good. But fingers crossed, hope she gets her weight up before next clinic visit.

Take care
Eli

ps: How is your daughter now, i hope good.
