Getting Too Big!



Ben had his routine CF clinic visit earlier this week. Michelle and Ben met with Dr. Chung and the rest of the CF team.  According to the doctors Ben is looking good.  His lungs continue to sound clear and he is still gaining weight.  He gained a pound and a half and grew a little over an inch since Nov 21st.  It's hard for Michelle to keep up with his clothing sizes!  He is about to transition into his 3rd pants size in 6 months.  Crazy!  Ben's BMI (body mass index) lowered a little because his height increased more than his weight. So Michelle and Paul are continuing to work on his diet so he can gain weight and to get his BMI above 50%.  Ben also took a throat culture for a screening process and the results will come back in a week.

Within the next week Ben's official website (not just a blog) will be launched.  Looking back on all the pictures of when Ben was in the hospital will blow anyone away!  Within seven months of Ben's toddler years he looks like a completely different child!  It's amazing what the right medicines and treatments can do for his health.  

Deuteronomy 32: 3-4  -  I will proclaim the name of the Lord.  oh, praise the greatness of our God!  
He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just.  
A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he.

For God's glory.
