About a month ago Josh had his regular CF checkup and his lung functions were down below not sure, I think 70 to 75. His doctor put him on antibiotics and increased his xopenex to three times a day (switching to the solution at night), and increased the use of his acapella to 2x a day. He had sius symptoms about a week befoe this. He wnet back on wednesday for a one month follow up and his lungs functions were at 60. The PT came in and wnet over techniques. His doctor changed his meds to 1500 mg of Cipro daily for 3 weeeks, 60 mg of prednisone for 5 days and then a standard every 3 day taper down. If his lung functions are still down at the next follow up he will have to go inpatient for IV antibiotics and to have a central line or some sort of line started. He will then get IV antibiotics at home. This is all new to me so I am worried and scared. If any of you are familiar with this or experienced this please share your experience with me.
This is the lowest he has ever been since his diagnosed in 2005. He doesn't feel ill, and doesn't look ill. In the very beginning he was sleeping more than usual so I took him to the pediatrician.
