Anna Update

Anna's cough seems to have nearly disappeared! We are so very grateful that she is going to make it through this one (a cold) without much stress on her system. 

We hope the upcoming holidays will continue to find us in good health. It was last year during the holiday season that she caught the cold that put her in the hospital by February.  The CF nurse said recently that because Anna is older she will be better able to fight off colds.  I grab on to any positive statements like that because it lifts my hope.

Tomorrow we have to take Anna in for a "routine" blood draw.  It is our first time.  They are testing for her general health but also to make sure she is absorbing the special vitamins that we give her twice a day.  I have dreaded this day since I found out we had to do it at our October CF clinic visit. I do not know if I can muster up the courage to go- and may send her dad with her instead- but then I know it is at times like this in our lives that we really need our mothers.
