Good News

We got the results from Carson's latest throat culture.  He's MRSA free!!!  Two oral antibiotics and one topical one and it's gone.  We are so excited.

WOW!

Despite being on antibiotics for over a month and an ER visit, Carson had an amazing CF appointment today.  He was 32 lbs. 3 oz. (a gain of 3 lbs. in three months) and 37.01 inches tall.  His height to weight ratio, which should be over 50%, was 71% and he had a BMI of 62% (which should also be over 50%).

We have to wait about a week to see if he got rid of his MRSA.  If not, they won't treat it and it will just be considered part of his normal flora in his lungs.
