ill, = early Ivs :(

I haven't been feeling to good for quite a while now, basically since the new year!
My chest hasn't felt 'good' for AGES and i just haven't felt like myself in a while. I had been on 3 different courses of antibiotics all of which for 2 weeks, but it still didn't work and if anything i felt worse not better!

So after a few weeks and my mum and dad knew i wasn't feeling any better they decided to take me up to the hospital again, but this time even the doctors and nurses knew that there was something wrong with me, so they called up my CF consultant (Dr Ned). He was quite glad i had gone up to the hospital as he had just got my cough swab results back which showed i was growing some more Pseudomonas in my lungs. So he admitted me on to the adolescent ward, and started my IVs right away.

When i usually go on my IVs i only have one antibiotic called Ceftazidime but this time aswell as Ceftaz they started me on another antibiotic called Tobramycin to try and dampen the pseudo down and get my lung function up to the 90's again!

I am now out of the hospital but my IVs will carry on until nextThursday.
