Are you sure its mucus and not acid reflux? That would go along with it being when she is lying down and not an all day long thing. I hope they can help you figure it out. so much of CF seems like a mystery.

Heather,

I am not sure. She is on Zantac. I guess cause it's a cough I thought it would be mucus; but keeping track it is when she is lying down I've noticed when we read stories before bed; it's a wheezy noise in her throat like there is stuff there. It has happened when she is not lying down, too. I guess if I got a culture it could check for some new bacteria; if it's a clear culture, would reflux present that way? Course she always does this on Friday night so I obsess all weekend.

Alyssa is on prevacid and reglan and still refluxes occasionally. And if they aspirate on the reflux it can cause increased mucus issues too.

I'd definitely ask -- they can do a 24 hour probe to see if she's refluxing.

Hey Rebecca,,,
All this stuff can drive someone nuts at times,,,it is so COMPLEX....The first thing is to let your Cf team know anything that concerns you,,, which it sounds like you are doing that....
Just maybe this may be one of those things your little one may start doing all the time....I know Makailyn constantly rumbles and all ways sounds like she's clearing her throat..When she's not in front of people she will go ahead a chuck out those hairballs....Sometimes she has to even in front of people...Then again in your case it could be something totally different....
I know the CFF will send you a video of "The Life of Alex",if you want to see it (but not in front of the kids)..It's been so long since I watched it ,I'm pretty sure that's the name of it (it wouldn't be hard to find)..
Well, my reason for bringing up this true story about a little girl with CF,,,is because I noticed things and sounds this little girl was making,, and realized my little angel made all the same noises ( especially the constant clearing the throat).....
It's a tough video to watch,,especially if you have a little one with CF....But,,,at the time I watched it I was trying to find out everything I could about a CF child and to actually see one....
Keep us posted,, and know we care about you and your little one,,,,Lot's of Blessings coming your way,,,,Karla<img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0">
