The first time I had IV's in Sept. 2005 my FEV1 went from 63% to 90% predicted. I had resisted going on IVs for a long time, and that experience changed my outlook on my CF very much. I had always been compliant with my nebs and CPT, but my goal had always been to stay out of the hospital. It took a lot to convince me that going on IV's wasn't a failure on my part, but part of the larger goal of staying as healthy as possible.

Since that first hospitalization my Dr. and I have agreed that if my FEV1 falls below 80%, I go in for IVs. Period. I've had two more rounds of IVs since. In January of 2006 my FEV1 dropped to 73%, and rebounded to 92% of predicted. In March of 2007, I dropped to 71% and rebounded to 89%. I haven't had a follow-up since then (Three weeks to go).
