Lauren,
<br />
<br />I think you are right. I feel like her airways are inflammed from the being sick. I do think it will take time but I'm afraid of her getting sick again before I can get her inflammation under control. I set up her air purifier up in her room again.
<br />
<br />I was thinking maybe her pulmicort dose should be increased. Or getting an Ige level done(she's due for this in June anyway. And or another sputum culture...I guess these are my next list of questions if things don't settle down in a couple days. Thanks for letting get my ideas down. Sometimes when I am on the phone with the doc I don't say everything cause I want him to make the final decision.

Has she been to an allergist and had the prick test on the back or arms? The igE is good but looks for ABPA mainly. If you find she is allergic to stuff then you may able to remove the allergens from her life, desensitize her or put her on allergy meds.

She has never had allergy testing. Just the IGe level drawn once a year which has been fine so far. I may ask about allergy testing at her next appointment. I do think she just has some mucus she is having trouble getting rid of. I have adjusted her airway clearance a bit; really working to stop the vest have her deep breath and cough to try to expectorate the gunk. I am giving her til tomorrow before I make my weekly call to the pulmo. I just hope it's not something like pseudomonas came back or something.
