CF Clinic #4

So today was Sarah's fourth visit to the CF clinic and it went really well. Sarah has had a cough that seemed to be getting worse over the past two weeks and then over the weekend she had coughed up some blood. I was really worried what they would say. They are putting her on and Antibiotic for the next ten days. The dr told me if her cultures showed anything bad they would let me know and maybe call in something else but they weren't concerned with the little bit of blood.

They did wish she would have gained more weight, but they said they are just keeping an eye on it. She was 17lbs even today and will be 11months old on Monday.

Sarah will also be getting an airway clearance vest. This will help her get the mucus out. Right now Jason and I do this by hand. It will be a lifesaver when she can use this. We can plug it in and it will do the work for her/us.  Below is a picture of what it will look like. They clinic said they would order a Pink one for her, so I hope that is what she gets. :)
