We've been trying to do breathing treatments every 2-3 hours. Azer can only tolerate 2 minutes at a time on his chest. CPT is causing shooting pains going to his shoulders. Today, he says that it is getting harder to breathe that yesterday, and feels like his lungs are getting worse. His lungs definitely sound much noisier than yesterday, and he is producing more. I really feel like the largish spot on his X-ray may have been pneumonia instead of just simply mucus plugging.
After sending a semi-panic stricken email to the CF clinic, he will be starting steroids for the next week. Hopefully by the end of the course of steroids, the antibiotics will really start to kick in!
