Ok i went to the hospital last night. They basically said theres nothing wrong with me. said eveyrthing looks great but of course the hospital i went to is local and dont know jack ***** about cystic fibrosis. They will even tell you themselves they dont know much of anything about it. One doctor told me i was completely healthy. I asked him if he got his degree from a cracker jack box. I stepped up my treatments and the dr at childrens (where they know cf) put me on cipro. And some other medicine. i have an appointment tuesday to see what my pfts are and then there they will decide if i have to stay or not. I am proper arrangements for lucas and everything. I am gonna talk to them about home iv meds. If not i will stay up there for the full two weeks to make sure i am better. It will also give me time away from being a mother for a while. make sure i get proper rest that a cf patient needs and i will be able to eat normal too. Where im staying we dont have any food. we nit pick everyday we look like scavangers in the kitchen. its bad. I lost seven lbs. i have gotten very pale and peeky looking. Everyone asks me if im sick when they see me because i look so diffrent.</end quote></div>
I am very glad you got the ball rolling, but IMHO one of the reasons you got sick is because you cant/dont eat properly. I am not sure what the arrangements are, but nutrition is important for anyone especially a CFer. The meds are going to drain you a bit more before you feel better so PLEASE eat as best as you can!
