Quick Update

Thank you to all who left comments.  Jack and I definitely feel the love.

Jack had a much better weekend and I think I figured out what the problem was -- the TOBI (inhaled Tobramycin).  In the past Jack has tolerated TOBI without any problems, but I've also heard of kids having a negative reaction to it.  Jack's "episodes" seemed to be about the same time each day and about an hour after he finished his TOBI treatment. Jack finished his second course of TOBI on Friday and this weekend - with no TOBI -- was much better.  Figures, doesn't it? I call his doctors' offices in desperation and tell them I have to get in and then we show up this week and Jack is just fine.  The pulmonologist was great and he agreed that it could be the TOBI and, therefore, gave us a prescription for a different antibiotic in the event the pseudomonas comes back (he got another trach culture). He also ordered a chest x-ray, but I suspect it will come back fine.  The ENT visit today was pretty much a waste of time.

So, life is working its way back to good. Jack feels better and he's much happier.  A happy Jack makes for a much happier mom.

Thanks for checking in and thanks for caring.
