We got the final culture results and they were the same as the preliminary report. He is now on Cipro and Colymicyn and probably will take these for three months to hopefully get rid of this flare up of pseudomonas.
Today didn't start out too great. Nathan was running 101 temp and very congested. He was coughing a lot. He has a very weak cough, but he coughed the best he could. His heart rate was also very high. I called Dr. Carey's office and have not heard back yet. We are assuming he has caught a cold. I have had a cold for the past week and have been very careful not to give it to Nate, but there is only so much you can do. As we know, there is not much you can do for a cold, since it is a virus. We pray that his cold does not turn into RSV, which is very common with SMA kids. Right now, he's acting like a feels a little better. We gave him Motrin and his fever has come down some. We will do the vest and cough him regularly throughout the day to keep him as clear as possible.
We continue to pray for Nathan's healing and care for him in the best way possible.
