Hi,
There are a few on the site with the same bug. My sons had a similar thing and I was able to get some good advice. Here is another site that is very helpful with mycobacteria.

How long has he been on IVs? Sometimes having all that mucus coming out is a signt hat things are moving better. The IVs may be working on it. Hypertonic Saline helped when my kids had tons of mucus to get up. It did make them gag and throw up, but bringing up all that stuff was so helpful.
Hang in there. CHeck out that site and let us know what the docs say.

Well I can only speak for myself. I do not have the same bugs that your son has, but I will throw-up after I eat if I cough real hard. And usually with any increased infection the "junk" in our lungs gets even stickier and harder to get up. So with that comes a lot more coughing and having to really do the deep hard squeeze coughing that will cause my food and anything else to come up. Not pretty and I am sure scary for you to watch. But as you said getting all of that up is the name of the game. Good luck with your son. Even though he is 18, I am sure does not make it any easier to watch "your little guy" seem like he is struggling. Good luck with the appt.

thank you, I am so glad I have joined this site, I have felt so out of touch because no one can really help me with some of my questions for my son, I really appreciate the advice, and the concern you all seem to share here, what a great site this is. I feel better about going tomorrow for our checkup, it doesnt make things seem so so bad for him. I will reply tomorrow as soon as we can get back home. thank you again for helping us get some insite on this.
