Happy Halloween

I hope everyone is having a great day:)

I just wanted to update everyone on our family.  Poor Wittle Gage has been sick since last Wed am.  It started out as fever, congestion, and vomiting.  Now it is just a terrible cough.  I finally took him to the pediatrician yesterday.  He said Gage's chest was clear and his symptoms sounded viral, like a cold.  This, he said, could continue for another 3-5 days.  Poor guy, he wakes up in the morning, coughs and coughs, and says, "I feel bad again today, Mommy"!  I have to say, he is extra sweet when he doesn't feel good...isn't that terrible.  He is extra snugly:)

Lexi's cough is still not any better and she had several bouts of bloody stool last week.  So, I called UNC today...they decided that they need to check her stool for C-difficile, which is a type of infection.  If that is negative they want to go ahead and start her on oral antibiotics for her cough.  HoHummm.  Prayers, Please!!!

I also need some feedback from you.  If you had a child or had a family member with CF, how would you or how would you want someone to inform you about CF and all the many details.  Sit down and chat, or make you a little booklet on what is important, or give you a list of books or websites you can search yourself.  As you can see CF is a disease that effects almost all of the organs of the body and can be affected by many environmental things.  What do you think...give me you opinions, PLEASE.  I know most of our friends/relatives have been told a lot about CF, but I am sure after 8 years there has been a lot forgotten...
