3rd Quarter CF Appointment
Today I headed in for my 3rd quarter CF check up. All in all, it was a super easy and fast appointment - yay!!
Last appointment, my PFTs had gone down some and I developed a cough that day - eek. After 10 days of Cipro, I was good as new. So, here's a look at my scores from April, June and today:
FVC - April:105% June: 99% September: 111%
FEV1 - April: 94% June: 83% September: 95%
FEF25-75% - April: 68% June: 45% September: 58%
I'm happy to see my numbers are back up! Still want to work on those small airways and get them higher than 58%, but I'm happy! And so was my doctor : )
I've been vesting with the hypertonic saline for just about 8 months straight, plus exercising 4-5 days a week. I do my best to keep my lungs functioning at their very best. Today was also my last day on my Cayston cycle - woohoo!!
Happy to have had a great report! Hope its as good or better in December : )
