HI There,
My 7 year old has been battling psedomonas and MRSA for nearly one year. His weight is okay and I sense his general health is also just okay, his cough has become heavy, often and getting him to spit up mucos, do treatments etc is a challenge. After noticing the last 2 weeks he has been extremely overtired, low grade fever and some blood strings in his kleenex, we went to our clinic and asked if it was time for a "tune up", He had only had the IV's one other time at age 5. I do not know if the doctors will put him on th Iv'S because I am recommending it or does he really need it? He has become allergic to Toby and although he started Cipro today, he has been on it so much I fear it is ineffective.
My son often complains of dizziness and stomach aches, headaches and just plain does not feel good. Certainly overtired as we are all!!! He cannot sleep through a night. I am concerned that IV's may not erradicate the psedomonas argulisa and perhaps cause further complications, am I being over cautious? Of course I want him on these if it means better health, but I certainly do not want him to have to go through such a process if is not truly necessary.
Any feedback would comfort me!!!!!!! Thanks
