When DS was diagnosed at birth the medical staff talked about Tobi and pseudomonas as something we'd deal with in the far off future. And then at 3 months old he cultured it (nonmucoid). Was scared to death. Started Tobi every other month. When DS was 3 or 4 he had an exacerbation (upper respiratory infection/cough) and was put on cipro. Was fine after a few days.

DS is almost 7 and throughout his daycare/preschool career he was one of the healthiest kids in his group. The daycare director would warn us that some of the other kids were coming down with something, sometimes we as parents would catch it -- once DH, MIL and I all got a nasty stomach virus and spent the weekend HURLING, meanwhile DS was running circles around us.

My daughter cultured it when she was 15 months old. The doctors also told us when she was diagnosed that this is something that will come much much later.
She only had a very low count of it but was put on 3 cycles of TObi. It was eradicated after the first one and never came back (almost a year now), touch wood.

Of course I was scared to death as you are now but it got better. I also took some measure to lower the chances that she catches it: like cleaning the shower head daily, not leaving any still water around and pouring clorox in the bathtub every night.

I know it is a hard time for you right now, but trust me, with Tobi your little guy will get over it and will be healthy for a long long time.
