I Could Use Some Good Vibes

I've been battling some nasty bug for two and a half weeks now. I've slowly been getting better, but I've had this lingering, nasty, gunky cough. Last week, my CF doctor put me on a steroid and a z-pak. It helped, but I still felt like crap this week, so he put me on another antibiotic on Tuesday. Today I called to ask when this cough should go away, so he had me come in.

It turns out my lung function is down 20%, so my doctor wants to put me on IVs. I haven't had to go on IVs in 22 years. Luckily, I can do them from home, but I have to administer the IV antibiotics every six hours, plus do 20 minutes of physical therapy four times a day. And my husband is going to be out of town next week. And we can't fly in my mom because she is on vacation in Florida. And we can't fly in his mom because his grandmother is currently visiting his mom. DH can cancel his work trip, but that means he won't get some of the training he is required to have in order to get the promotion his work promised.

But, my doctor said they can't put me on IVs until Monday, so he put me on a third antibiotic and told me to call him on Monday. If I get better over the weekend, I won't have to go on the IVs anymore. So, I could really use some ::::gethealthyovertheweekenddust:::
