I thought that you guys would say something along those lines. It didnt really seem that bad to me when he wasnt really concerned. I mean, like I said he liked the way my lungs sounded and didnt hear much and my weight was good too. I did give him a sputum sample, so if anything shows up on that then I am sure that I will hear something in the next couple of days. But beyond that I will be starting the aztreonam and usually that helps me a lot. So we will see.

Thanks and I will try to keep you posted.

i would not worry about it.Occasionally you have off days where you do not blow as hard.It has happened to me as well,i went from fev1 84 to 76 in 3 months as well,now I am back to fev1 84.

I would be concerned if it stayed down for around 2 years ,then you know that is your baseline,but in all likelihood this is just a temporary blip

Thats a huge drop. The good news is, its so sudden and you are otherwise feeling good, so you can absolutely get that # back up.
Jump on it!! See what the culture says and get on that exercise bike and get on that vest. Go after it sooner than later bc the longer it hovers here the more work it will be for you.
I would NOT freak out, like this is permanent, or some type of damage or anything like that. But 9% is a major drop. You want every single eenzy weenzy % you can get.
