Happy Holidays everyone!

I need help... What do you guys do when you are the primary caregiver and you get sick with a cold, bronchitis?

Last year at his time I was sick with bronchitis, again in June and now again. Every time I get sick so does my daughter. Last year I was able to get over the bronchitis ok, in June it took several rounds of Z-Pak and other Abx and 2 months to get over it, now I have it again, going to the Dr. tomorrow. Last Tuesday I began feeling ill, now I am coughing up green, fever, sob, aches, nasal mucus is yellow-green.

Breanna has been doing great and now that I am ill, she is having an exacerbation, coughing up green, pale, peak flow down from 325 to 250 (normally 300-350). Her routine appt. at clinic is Thursday the 11th. We have been doing extra treatments and it seems to be helping, but she needs Abx.

Since I am her primary caregiver, I have no family here to help me, what do I do???

Please let me know your thoughts...

I have struggled with this issue too. I am so sorry that you are going through this. I just do my best to stay out of Brady's face. I make sure he doesn't drink after me, and I constantly wash my hand, and spray Lysol. This is such a tough situation, and I wish you the best of luck!

After reading your post, I cant help but wonder if you have been tested for cf yourself. Just curious, I know healthy people get bronchitis too, but to have it so often and have a gunky nose too make me wonder.

Wear a mask!

When we got our foster baby and my husband (no cf) had a cold, we didn't want to risk giving such a young child sickness.

Hubby wore a mask everytime he was in close proximity to the baby....it worked! Any drugstore carries them.
