Update

Ricky has had a nasty cold, sinus infection, and cough for over a month and a couple of weeks back I was sure he'd end uphospitalized. Today we went for xrays and I thought you all might like to see this -- the latest on Ricky and his "sinus saga".

Once we finally figured out which radiology place to go to (we switched insurance on January 1) Ricky had his lungs and sinuses x-rayed (the lungs were a surprise but an excellent idea considering his nasty cough). We took the xrays back to the pedi and she showed me that he definitely has lots of junk in his sinuses (of course, as I am finding out from the CF community, this is not a surprise and a CT scan would probably have told us more information) and definitely has infiltrates in both lungs, right around the center (by bronchial tube). So she is going to have the radiologist take a look at everything and then they'll make a decision. She said something
about "attacking it with strong stuff" and I don't know if she means hospitalization.

The sinus thing is new to to us but I've had a feeling for a while that this would be a major manifestation for Ricky. I'll update you all when we hear something...
