Cade's Latest Check-up

Cade had a check-up last week and I realized I haven't posted anything in quite a while.  When I looked, it has been over 6 months which means he has been doing really good and there has been nothing new to write about!  He had gained a pound and grew 3/4 of an inch since August.  The team was telling him he's going to be the next Shaq with that kind of growth - poor kid got the short (pun intended) end of the stick where height is involved.  For the most part his meds stayed the same with the exception of his Pulmozyme (the expensive inhaled breathing med).  He DOES NOT like it for whatever reason.  I don't know if it is the taste, smell, how it makes his mouth feel - not a clue.  He only has to do the Pulmozyme once a day now but they are going to try doing an inhaled saline solution which may cause lung spasms???  We will start out with 2 Albuterol treatments before the saline, so we'll see how that goes.  Dr said the Pulmozyme isn't doing him much good if he won't do it anyway.....
