so i'm on day 13 in the hospital doing IV antibiotics and when i came in my pfts were at 56% after a month of cayston and today when i did pfts again they were only at 58% and my small airways were actually worse. it took me about 5 blows to get a 58%, the others were a little lower.
I usually only do 2 weeks of IVs but I've always had much better response to the meds and my pfts have bounced back to at least 60-61%. i'm not coughing stuff up really and do feel better but when i do feel like i have to cough it's like the mucus is stuck and won't come up. even after nebs.
i'm supposed to go home tomorrow but the docs are kind of leaving it up to me if i want to stay longer. i don't really know what to do. i'm disappointed that my pfts didn't bounce back, but i do feel more clear which is a good sign. <sigh>
what are your thoughts?
