Well Michelle its so funny that you had posted this, as I was just about to post about Alana getting her first cold since being diagnosed. I must say Frank and I are little stressed about it, but trying to not blow it to far out of proportion.

She started to get abit snotty yesterday afternoon, but didn't seem to bad. She went to bed and then every 1-1/2 hours she woke up crying. She was so snotty and it was making her cough because she was swallowing it. Usually if she has any mucus she can poo it out, but she is badly constipated, which is a whole other story. Lets me say there was not much sleeping happening here last night. Anyway her paed is away until Monday, so I was able to speak to the CF nurse, who said to get her on antibiotics (luckly we have prescriptions already-just incase) and she will be coming here tomorrow to check on her. She hasn't wanted to sleep all day. But I think that has to do with lying down making her feel worse. She is at the moment asleep on the couch with Frank. The only problem we have is that we are really struggling with getting her antibiotics down. She is absolutely cracking it. hopefully the CF nurse can help there aswell.

Anyway she is also constipated, which is really concerning me, as it has been going on to long. We have her on coloyxl drops and they are doing nothing. I am worried that she has a bowel problem, which could be associated with the CF. I don't know. Her paed is aware of it and i have emailed again with my concerns, but won't hear back until next week. Will let the nurse know and she can decide whether we need it checked out asap or if it can wait until next week.

Okay! Sorry for the long post, guess I needed to get some stuff out.
