The on-call doctor was not my usual CF doctor and was not familiar with my usual bugs, so he said I should just keep an eye on things and call him back if it gets worse this weekend. He told me I probably have a lung exacerbation and to call my regular CF doctor on Monday so I can be prescribed the correct antibiotics. In the meantime, I'm supposed to stop inhaling albuterol and hypertonic saline for one day, but continue inhaling Colistin.
The crazy thing is that I feel FINE. And, I haven’t been coughing more than usual. I'm tired, but I only slept five hours the other night and haven't caught up on sleep yet. And, I've had night sweats the last two nights, but I get those all the time.
The only other time in my life I've coughed up blood was during a rough bought of bronchitis 10 years ago. I am praying that this is just some freak occurrence and doesn't mean I have some nasty infection brewing.
