Patricks bronchoscopy w/ biopsy went well. He did not have any problems during his procedure. He did half to have some blow by oxygen. His o2 runs about 95%. without the oxygen his o2 would drop below 95%. They almost addmited him, but first gave him some med through his IV to dry up his lungs and within 30 mins his o2 was well above 95%without the oxygen, so we were able to leave that same day<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

We still do not no if he has CF for sure. Still waiting on genetic test. We do know that they found green thick mucus throughout the airway, trachea and bronchi/segments. there was also a mucosal irregularity found.
I am starting to get a little scared.
