Blood streaked mucus?

Nicole makes me remember that the first time we saw this with Emily was when she was on oral Prednisone. She'd been really sick, and when she started the Prednisone started coughing up stuff the likes of which we'd never seen before, thick chunky stuff including the streaked mucus. Since being on a steroid, which is increased during times of illness, she brings up more and it generally always happens when she is sick now.

I think in her case the Prednisone let her get things up she just couldn't before and that could be happening with you too.
