Lots of poop discussion here! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> When DS' was a baby his was never greasy, but was fluffy -- yellowish orange and the consistency of cake frosting. Frequent at times -- I'd do 3 diaper changes in a row -- sometimes while changing his diaper. Other times poop would be green.
<br />
<br />Until we got his enzyme, digestive issues figured out his stools tended to be frequent and every color of the rainbow except normal brown. They were formed, yet tended to break up easily, sometimes there'd be a ring of residue at the waterline in the toilet.
<br />
<br />When DS has cultures done -- we usually get a lab report indicating what bugs are growing and what they're sensitive and resistant to. Example: Steno. Maltophilia resistant to ceftaz sensitive to bactrim... So you may want to look into whether they're using the correct abx for whatever he grew from the bronch. There've been times when DS has developed a cough and we wonder how that could be as he's on tobi, septra, keflex, azithromycin -- and it turns out he's growing something else and needed cipro...

I have the lab results, but there is no sensitivity (at least on my copies).They originally wanted to put him on Augmentin and I vetoed that that b/c he has been on it soooo often and does not seem to work. That is why they are doing Azithromycin this time. I my mind, since we have been doing oral abx all this time to no avail, he should just get an IV to knock it out.

BTW, the CT scan of his sinus showed full blockage...no air. When they went in to clean him out, it was full of mucous, pus and they found polyps. He had the surgery March 3 and he already had mucous/pus return (according to the bronch) and currently has a sinus infection. C/o facial pain, bad breath. You can hear him breathe from pretty much anywhere in the house. Breathes pretty fast, has retractions. He has been like this so long, he/his body knows how to compensate.
