Ben has been fighting some seasonal allergies and he started coughing with it, which is a sign of a lung infection. The doctors put him on Omnicef for 2 weeks to hopefully take the cough away. It wasnt doing anything and Ben wasn't feeling well. So they added another 2 weeks.
Then Ben had an appointment with the CF Team. At his appt. he cultured haemophilus influenzae even though being on Omnicef. Which is not good.
So they added Rampfin (a very strong antibiotic) to the Omnicef for another 2 weeks.
That seemed to kill the bacteria in his lungs.
He still was struggling with allergy symptoms so the doctors have put Ben on a steriod nasal spray. The nose spray has taken away his allergy symptoms!
Now Ben seems to be healthy. He still has a little bit of a cough but the doctors think its due to post-nasal drip from allergies.
It has been a long 2 months but we think we have gotten past this sickness!
We are so thankful for God's grace and peace He has given us through this time.
Its never fun to go through a time of sickness and
He has answered our prayers to take away this sickness from Ben.
