Nicholas finally went down for his lung
function test. Today is a clinic day so they are REALLY busy. His
lung function was unchanged really. His upper airways were down a
percent and his lower airways were up a little. So as we suspected, we
will be here at least another week.
The hospital pharmacists are still in negotiations about how the new
antibiotic they want to use for the nasal passages should be given, but
we are told that it should start today.
His appetite is starting to wean off a bit, so they are going to
consider increasing his periactin to 3 times a day. We were kind of
hoping that the prednisone would help increase his appetite, but is so
low a dose that it may not benefit him much in that respect.
So we are still waiting to see what the culture grows from the nasal
passages. they know that it is growing some bacteria, but it hasn’t
been long enough for it to completely grow out yet, and we are still
waiting to get the new antibiotic for his sinuses.
Let you know more when I can. Thanks for checking in.
