The verdict is in... Or is it... I think I am still confused... Who knew...

Okay so the verdict is in.... What could be wrong with the coughing coughing hack up a lung coughing kid.... No fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or any complaints of pain.... No lack of bouncing off the walls... Just freaking people out with hack up a lung coughing.....

No Fever (which kinda seemed weird to me, cuz his eyes were sure red)

okay xrays clear ( that is always awesome to hear)

CBC count great (always good news)

Ears not so good ( ugh where did that come from)

Yep just a whole lot of drainage in the head and sinus ( go figure those sinuses) which in turn caused double ear infections....

Still wondering what happened to the fever, and bummed because he was already on an antibiotic, that just didnt work this time due to just too much mucus..... But I do think the antibiotic helped it not get worse...

So I guess it is probably a combination of both.... Prolly got some of my good ol cold last week and combined with the CF is producing way too much mucus....

So the whole point of this post was to determine if I could judge with any reasoning what so ever what was going on with him and well I blew it, of course lol.... I did think he obviously had alot of drainage going on, but never considered the ear infections... So I guess I learned a little more....

But seriously the coughing is out of control, which I am so not use too.... And I can easily see how it freaks out everyone else, cuz it freaks out me....

So we have just added an additional antibiotic to the cocktail, and hopefully that will do the trick, if not maybe we will change the channel ( seeing how Lane's believes he was contaminated from watching the wrong cartoon lol kids)

I do feel bad for my CF Made little guy, because seriously it has got to hurt to cough that much and that hard....

  1. oh i am still awful at trying to figure it out. one thing that took a long time for me to realize is that my guy would have a sinus infection, but no visible drainage. and then add two bad allergy seasons to the mix and who knows which cough means what! sounds like you got it figured out(ish)... for now!
