So Conners dr wants to switch him from inhaled vancomycin to inhaled genomycin for his frequent infections. we tried it inpatient today and phew...i got the WORST headache. during that RT session though he also did his hypertonic saline, which usually doesn't bother me at all even sitting right next to him, so I don't know if it's the combination of the two meds or if it's just the genomycin...
anyone have similiar issues?
We stopped his IV vanco as well and changed it to IV zyvox so we'll see if that works. we've also switched him from VEST to PEP and that seems to help him move more mucus.
make a wish in 6 days....
we shall see if this med switch is enough!!!

Did You Know....
There are over 100,000 people, the size of a small city, on the transplant list in the US.
There were less than 10,000 deceased organ donors in the US last year. (that's a ratio of 1 organ donor to every 10 transplant patients).
In the time it takes you to shower today, 1 new name is added to the US transplant waiting list.
From the time you woke up this morning to the time you wake up tomorrow morning, 18 people will die waiting for their transplant in the US.
