It was a timely appointment because Anna started to cough a bit about five days ago. Once again my heart sank though I know I should be grateful that we had such a healthy summer. ( I used to love when the weather would turn cooler, now I wonder if I will ever view the coming of fall the same way as I once did.) We monitored her coughs, gave her an antihistamine, took her breathing rate,and I prayed really hard that it would not turn into a chest cold. The cough has gotten no worse and no better. The doctor said her lungs were clear so now we wait and see what happens...
On another note, I talked to the nutritionist and the CF nurse at length about Anna's poorly balanced diet. Although she has gained sufficient weight on her all carb and dairy diet, she is not learning to eat from the other food groups. This has been worrisome to me for some time but I have been reluctant to push because I just want her to eat something. Well, it is time to play hard ball. It is time to train her to eat what is offered and that is going to mean some hungry days ahead for my beautiful little blondie. Please pray I can follow through with the suggestions given to me.
We await the result of her throat culture....
