PFT's going down while in hospital

Usually do pft's every 3 months unless there has been a recent illness. When admitted once a week sometimes twice is pretty normal for me although I've seen others do it more often, may have to do with personal circumstances.

Interesting to hear that others have a delayed improvement. I usually have a gradual increase when in so going down got me concerned. They've stepped up treatments a lot and I'm getting them to redo/reevaluate sputum cultures just to be sure.

Also, March would have been 6 years since my last stay at The Get Well Hotel. There have been some ocassions where I probably should have gone in so perhaps I sould be more patient.
