Well, three weeks after our CF Clinic visit....we now have Trevor's new medicine. He will now be on a concentrated dose of Albuterol along with the 3% hypersal. This hypersal replaces the 7% hypersal that Trevor did not tolerate very well. The other advantage is that the 3% hypersal can be mixed directly with the concentrated albuterol which cuts down the amount of time needed for the treatment. Why did it take so long to get the new meds? When I originally took the prescriptions to our regular pharmacy......they delayed telling me that these prescriptions had to be filled at a "specialty pharmacy" according to our insurance company. So I had to call back the clinic....who in turn called the specialty pharmacy and from that point on it was just a waiting game. I hope the new meds go well...I will keep you informed. He is still taking his Creon 24 (3-4 with meals, and 2-3 with snacks ), periactin ( 2 a day to help him keep a healthy appetite), azithromycin ( 3 days a week to prevent lung inflammation ), and his CF Source multi vitamin. ( once a day ).

Our little first grade elf.....Trey

Trey's first grade program was last night....all the first graders did a wonderful job. Trey was an elf and was wearing a costume made by his Grandma Frankie. I thought it turned out super cute! They are growing up too fast. Won't be able to see many more of these little programs. :(

Merry Christmas to everyone!

Tristan Jon

Tristan, my oldest was born as an adult, I think. He is mature beyond his years, and not only is he smart as a whip, (honor roll student) but he is very social, a friend to everyone and very much into sports. He plays football, basketball, soccer, and his favorite sport is baseball. His nickname is "Noodle"! He is in the 9th grade this year. Tristan was sweat tested for CF after Trevor's diagnosis, but the test came back negative. We have not had him DNA tested to see if he is a carrier or not.

Trevor Marc

My second amazing young man is Trevor. Affectionately known as "Trev of Edge". Trevor is extra special because he was born with Cystic Fibrosis. It is a genetic disease that affects his lungs and digestive system. He has the double delta F508 mutation. He is a real trooper though. Even though he has been through two major surgeries, you would never know there is any problem with him. He is very smart (honor roll student) and very active, he plays sports, loves to swim, loves video games and always wants to spend time with his friends. He is in the 7th grade.
