Yesterday was Zoe's follow-up after sinus surgery and pre-op physical for her next sinus surgery on Monday. I was absolutely shocked to find out that both of her cultures from her sinuses and her throat came back completely CLEAN!! They did not grow anything! I asked her doctor how sinuses that were completely full of thick, yellow mucus and pus could culture zero bacteria??? Amazes me. CF baffles me. Then there are the clinic visits where she seems like all is great and they call a week later saying she cultured some weird, nasty bacteria!?!? Don't get me wrong...I am THRILLED that she actually left clinic for the first time in I can't remember without having to get a script filled for an antibiotic!
So the plan is for her second surgery Monday. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers that her O2 won't drop like last time. That was a little scary for us.
I have to share something that I thought was hilarious. On Zoe's check out paper from clinic yesterday her doctor wrote:
Patient Instructions:
-Ok off abxs
-Medically clear for 2nd look sinus surgery Dec. 8
-Ask ENT to repeat CF culture from tracheal aspirate
CF FU as scheduled
