Paul's birthday morning.
May 8th Ben had his routine CF clinic visit with Dr. McColley and NP Stacey Vanderbranden. We are really blessed by the medical care that Ben is receiving. Overall, Ben is doing well! His lungs sound good, his BMI is 66%, and he has grown an inch in the past 3 month. Dr. McColley encouraged Michelle and Paul again to do vest treatments and nebulizer twice a day. Since Ben was a later diagnoses and the x-rays in the hospital this summer showed some potential lung damage, he is at a higher risk for future progression. It was a good reminder. Michelle and Paul also talked with the doctors about summer nutrition for Ben. He needs extra salt in the summer as he loses a lot through his sweat. This will also make Ben more prone to dehydration so increasing liquid is vital. We are really hoping he has a good healthy summer!
