    tobramycin, ceftazidime, and insulin

    Lung bleed and more

    This weekend my lungs bleed off and on. I don't care how often it happens--- it freaks me out!! I started on an antibiotic last night and it is kicking my butt. I am on Augmentin. It is about the only oral antibiotic that is left for me. I am so fatigued after my second dose. I can't remember is...

    first episode of hemoptysis

    I am having a lung bleed right now. Had a slightly increased cough and woke up this morning tasting blood and then started coughing it up. Yuck!! I called my CF nurse and she said she would likely send out Rx for antibiotic and vitamin K.

    Need urgent prayers
