Mom had surgery on Tuesday. She was supposed to be released from the hospital today, but she spiked a fever and her oxygen levels dropped. Turns out she has a lung infection.

I am a bit worried since my lung bugs are acting up again and I just saw her on Mother’s day. I hope I am not giving my infections to her. Mom had a really bad lung infection last year resulting in a partially collapsed lung, and cultured the same evil bacteria that I always do. I am really worried that I may have to stay away from mom because I am bad for her health.

Please send positive healthy vibes for momma. Last thing she needed was an infection on top of recovering from surgery.

One good thing is that she hasn’t lost her spunk. When she was told she had a lung infection she told the doc that she has a daughter with cystic fibrosis. The doc said immediately that “oh that’s a childhood disease”… ummm… excuse me doc! How could a doc be so insensitive as to say something like that to a parent! Mom threw a fit about the doc’s rude comment, almost throwing the doc the bird. (wish I could have been a fly on that wall!)

I hope tomorrow will bring a better, more knowledgeable doctor.

(anyone know if carriers of the DF508 mutation have a lot of symptoms of CF?)
