Wow!! Caleb had his appointment today at Children's Hospital for his 90 day follow-up with the CF clinic. As you all know he has been ill this past week and had a pretty "wet" cough. The "main" doctor, Dr. Accurso was so impressed with him. Caleb's oxygen saturation's were at 97%, and his growth and weight are phenomenal (very unlike a CF patient). Because of his cough they are keeping him on his antibiotics for 30 more days. They are adding zantac to his daily pharmacy of meds. He has been on prevacid but he seems to have a lot of reflux. Zantac and prevacid can work together because they work different areas of reflux. He is also to keep doing his 3 therapies and 2 treatments a day until the cough is 110% gone. Dr. Accurso was very aggressive today with Caleb's meds and treatments. My only guess is it is because he has seen some pretty sick CF patients this winter. Dr. Accurso and his nurses and respiratory therapists told me that Shane and I are doing a very good job with Caleb. However, we take none of the credit. This is all God. Shane and I have been praying overtime for Caleb since the beginning. We may not have a million dollars in the bank...but we truly are the richest family out there.
