It has been a while since I have been on my blog. I have been so busy with school and cheer and getting sick and then getting over it and then getting sick again. Okay so I have going to the doctor a lot lately, well this year in general. My numbers are not dropping anymore, but no longer are they going up. I hit 81 when I was on IVs over the summer but sense then they have dropped to 72 and as of my last appointment 74. I have been put on a few different rounds of oral antibiotics, but they haven't really helped my lung function any, they have made me feel tons better in general but my lung function hasn't really gone up any. At the doctors he suggested that maybe I am growing something else other than just staph, something deeper in my lungs. For the past couple of months every time I go to the doctors they have been saying I have this crackle in my right lower lung and he was saying that maybe there is something growing down there that isn't showing up in the culture (when the swab me). That is when he brought up the idea of getting a bronch done. I have never had one before, but that word worries me because my sister has done it a couple of times and every time she gets it done she just seems to get sicker and has to be put on ivs, not because they found something growing or anything, but the procedure in general just seems to do something that makes her lungs tired and then she gets sick. I don't really want to get that done and then still have to be put on ivs, it just worries me. My other option he said was to go on another round of ivs. I had my second picc (after 6 or 7 years of not having one) over the summer and that was because I felt like crap and asked for it. Now I don't feel bad. For the most part I am feeling pretty dang well, especially for just getting over a cold. Personally I did feel like I needed IVs. So I asked for a third option. He said that we could try another oral antibiotic for a week and see hows that goes and I jumped for the option. I promised him I would get all my treatments in plus some and along with doing the vest I would have someone pound on my lower right lung to get all that gunk that is causing the crackling loose so I will cough it up. He rather do the IVs or the Bronch but he liked my plan and felt like it was my choice. I am just not ready for another PICC. I was hoping I could go longer without needing one; i especially don't want it during cheer season. Well anyways hopefully this oral antibiotic and the extra treatments with extra pounding (PT) my numbers will go up and the doc will be satisfied. I will keep you updated.

On a better note.....MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

You may ask why I am blogging so early christmas morning and my answer to that is because I wake up so early on christmas, but my parents wont let me wake them up till a certain time haha. I needed something to do so I decided heck, mine as well updated everyone on my recent doctors appointment. I love Christmas, it is such a great time of year. It makes me so happy and helps me to feel good no matter how I am physically feeling. It is a time of love and family. The kids on Christmas Eve
