Praise The Lord....

The pseudomonas is gone! Ollie has been taking an antibiotic for almost 2 months now. This antibiotic was to kill a bacteria known as pseudomonas. Pseudomonas is very common in people with CF and will always come back, usually within 2 months. For now we are so happy it is gone and did not develop into an infection! At this point we will finish up with the antibiotic (about 6 more days). Once that is done and as long as Ollie stays healthy we will not be required to do any breathing treatments. We will only be doing chest PT's twice a day. This will give O and ourselves a much needed break from the inhaled medications. Praise the Lord!!!
