@heidi0974 - Hi, I have been waiting to post until I got through the "sick season". Happy to say, that I was pretty well despite the grandkids passing viruses back and forth.
My goal in October was to make it through an outside nighttime wedding. (without coughing). In early October I did have to go on antibiotics for 10 days but it cleared up by the wedding. Usually I would never bounce back so quickly. Sad to say I got sick after thanksgiving and my sputum came back with strep, so more antibiotics (fever, increased mucus, etc.)...but again, I cleared up after 2 weeks with no coughing, very little sputum, and no fever. I think I read that these URI's are one of the possible side effects of Brinsupri (and 6 grandchildren under the age of 7). But I feel better than I have in a couple of years. Of course, still doing all the saline nebs, and airway clearance and masking. Cindy
