Thanks all for the prayers and good wishes, just posting a quick update since I had to be out and about picking up schoolwork and such. Piper is having an exacerbation, but we caught it earlier than normal, her x-rays are showing just a small spot of pneumonia. In the meantime her glucose levels were also high, so we're going to start a diabetic diet to hopefully hold off CF related diabetes as long as possible. Right now she's on 2 ltrs of O2, once we can get her weaned off that and her lung function up (she's at about 45%), we'll come home on the IVs. I've pm'ed our snail mail addy to maroo and chrissi, not sure how long we'll be at the hospital, so that will be the easiest way if anyone would like to send cards and such..someone from the family will be visiting weekends, and I'll need to make periodic trips home to feed the hermit crabs ...
