It's been awhile since I've been on here so I thought I'd give a quick update on the CF news around here. We are officially OFF of antibiotics after being on for 27 days straight!!! Reese started what we thought was a summer cold and was really "junky" up in her sinuses so her doctor put her on an antibiotic. Thankfully she had her regular CF checkup shortly after that because the antibiotic wasn't helping at all and when she's had a little junkiness in her sinuses in the past, the antibiotic had cleared it right up. Well she ended up culturing a strain of strep that was resistant to that certain antibiotic (I was assured it was not HER being resistant, but rather the strain of strep) so we were put on another antibiotic for 10 days...fast forward 10 days...clearing up but not totally gone so another antibiotic for 10 more days. This morning was her LAST DOSE and she sounds GREAT!!!!! Hopefully our supply of diapers will last a little longer now and we won't be running to Walgreens every other day for more diaper rash cream :) When she was put on her second round of antibiotics we also started her on Culturelle (probiotics) and I think that made a difference in her diapers as well. TMI??? Sorry...you other CF momma's will understand. Anyway, she is doing great and hopefully we are in the clear for awhile. I have to admit I was having some anxiety as she was in the hospital exactly a year ago and I feared that if it didn't clear up, that's where we would be headed. PRAYING SHE STAYS HEALTHY!!! Good news though...she remains in the 97th percent for height and weight which we are so thrilled about! A little old lady even told me the other day I might have to consider putting her on an exercise program...oh if she only knew. Well, that's about it for us CF-wise. Here are some pix of her in the hospital last year...my little babe...so sweet and strong. Your are our hero Reese Lane. We love you to the moon and back. XOXO
IV in her arm...
Now in her head...
What a trooper!
