Caleb got a cold last week. When Michelle and Paul went to Ben's CF visit they talked with Dr. Chung about ways to help Ben through a cold. She does some homeopathic treatments (using natural substances) for those that want to try alternative medicine, which is one of the huge reason Michelle and Paul wanted her as their doctor. She also told them to give Ben oscillococcinum 3 times a day when he shows signs of a cold or the flu. This medication is homeopathic and relieves influenza-like symptoms. Last week they gave it to Ben as he was showing signs of a cold. They were hoping it would lessen his symptoms and strengthen his body to fight the cold. So far Ben is mildly congested with some clear drainage and seems to be improving over the weekend. Michelle and Paul are increasing his vest treatments to 3 or 4 times a today.
Please pray for Ben's immune system to fight this virus off quickly and protection from all the bacteria who would love to live in the excess mucus of Ben's lungs. We are doing what we can to help Ben, but we trust in our great God and know that He alone is the great Healer.
Exodus 14:14 - The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.
