where the heck did these numbers come from?

Hey Leah,

In terms of maltophilia... I had it for years, and then got rid of it. I would hesitate to say that if it didn't show up in one culture or something - but it hasn't shown up in a culture now for at least two years... so I think that's pretty safe. I didn't treat it any differently.

In terms of the numbers - that's awesome! Seriously, can you identify anything you are doing differently? I will do whatever you do. JK... sort of. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

Well, the only thing I can say is that it must be the meds. I have not increased or changed my activity level (other than having children). I have always been active in sports ever since I was a toddler, so that can't be it. The only thing I've really changed is the addition of Pulmozyme (5 years ago) and Advair (7 years ago). I now also take allergy meds, which is not something I had done in the past. And in the past year I have started on MWF Zithro as well.

I really think the Advair and Zithro have really helped dramatically with the inflammation. My FEV25-75 has gone from the 40's to the 80's.

Thanks for all your comments. I am still just blown away. I'm obviously not expecting this next visit (I still have my doubts that it was a fluke), but at least it made my day!
