Undecided

Today, another CF doctor was on the floor. Azer and I asked her what was the best decision; go home Monday, or stay until the Aspergillus test comes back. She really feels like the best decision is to stay, because if that test comes back positive, starting a new IV medication at home in addition to the two he is already on would be doable, but difficult. She said on Monday, if it looks like the test will take a long time to come back, then it's probably alright to go home. When she listened to him, she said the same thing everyone else has heard; that he sounds crackly until he coughs, then sounds clear but has some wheezing.

Azer was talking to her about his allergies, and high IGE level, and she mentioned an allergy shot that specifically helps against IGE levels. Our main CF doctor and an allergist had mentioned it before. It wouldn't help allergy symptoms, but it would help if he gets ABPA frequently. 

Azer had to have another dressing change today because he was sweating from being so active while playing. He definitely seems to be feeling a lot better. 

It also helped cheer him up to be playing Xbox with Dad today 😊
