maybe my daughter's stay in the hospital wasn't serious enough to do PFT's until after she got home?
I think I may ask next clinic appointment.

I don't see what the problem would have been with doing PFTs while she was in the hospital. We were there, with not much to do but treatments and finding things to occupy her, so really, what harm could it have done to at least do one or two PFTs while there? We walked around the hospital enough times, we surely could have gone to the PFT lab on our adventures!
I was very surprised that we didn't even do one before discharge.

My older daughter, Kayla, has been admitted only two times over the past three years. The first time when she was 9, and she had an increase in cough, worstened XRays and FEV dropped from 100% to 68% in about one month.
Her second time was last year at 11 years old, and it was based strictly on a cough and chest tightness and the fact that she wasn't better after a week of oral antibotics. When PFTs were done on her second day in the hospital, her FEV had dropped from 102% to 82% in about two months.
Both times she had PFTs done prior to being able to come home. They are done about one week into the hosptial stay.
Honestly, we are struggling right now to keep her out of the hospital. She has been coughing something terrible, but has been started on Bactrim and Cipro. She plays Club Volleyball, and this weekend is her regional play-offs and she wants to participate so badly. If she is not better by Monday, we may have to go in.
Allergies are a huge problem for Kayla. She is highly allergic to trees and molds, and this time of the year really is hard on her. Each of her admits (and close admits) have been during the spring. Her problems start out with allergies, but the inflammation in her lungs gets out of hand and the bacteria just start getting out of control. We are strongly considering allergy shots. She has missed 8 days of school in two weeks b/c of coughing all night and her eyes so swollen during the day that she can't hardly function<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">
My younger daughter, Hannah, has never been admitted<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
