Kory has his first cold :( 2 weeks ago we were at a graduation party and another baby there had a terrible croupy cough. A few days after we got home, the girls started coming down with colds. They are mostly over it now. Kory fought it off until a couple days ago, but today his cough sounds like that other little baby. :( He doesn't have any fever, nose is running clear. With any other child, I'd not worry at this point. It's just a cold. but of course with cf I second guess everything.

I agree with bringing the baby in to see the CF doctor. Are you doing extra Chest PT and breathing treatments?

yes, doing extra chest pt for sure. When I put my ear to his chest or back he sounds good. He's not at all struggling to breathe. He's in very good spirits. I noticed too that he's coughed much less as he's been up and around for the day, so I think I'll try sleeping in the chair with him tonight to keep him upright and see if that helps. I will definitely call his dr. in the morning too. I'm glad I asked here. I probably would have waited too long :(
