November CF Clinic

Cade had a excellent check-up today!  I'm going to brag about how good it was, while I can, because I know at any time the bottom could drop out and we could be at the complete opposite end of how his health is doing.  His lungs sounded good, his oxygen level was at 97% and he is continuing to gain weight.   

He was a super brave boy today.  He had blood drawn and didn't cry.  He had a flu shot and didn't cry.  The blood tests that had already come back were so good that he gets to quit taking his extra iron!  We should find out by the end of the week or early next week the rest of his test results.  He laid on the floor and watched a movie while we were in clinic.  The doctor did the check-up on the floor with Cade! 

Cade's Pediatrician Appointment



Cade had a check-up with his pediatrician today.  This was his 2 year check-up that should have been done back in July - ooops!  He has his team at KU and I forget that he is still a regular kid that needs to see a regular doctor for regular check-ups.  He is back in the 25% for his weight and height (he was in the 10% at his 18 month check-up).  He's in good shape.  He sounded good and looks good. 

This was the easy doctor appointment.  Next week he goes to see the KU team.  It's going to be a long one.  In addition to seeing his regular team, he also has to have a chest x-ray (to see how they look and compare them to previous images), have the dreaded blood work done (to check vitamin levels and all that good stuff) and a flu shot.  Needless to say, he is NOT going to be happy.


To be continued next week.............
