Happy B-Day to ME

Hello world wide web. I am one month old today. I celebrated by hanging out in my glider and sleeping while Mom did housework. Here's a pic of my glider since someone asked what it was. We (Mom and I) also went for a ride to Lowe's to get curtains and to Staples to get printer ink and paper.

Yesterday was my marathon doctor appointment. I say marathon because it lasted over four hours. I went to The University of Michigan to see a specialist about my CF. We met two doctors, a nurse, a nutritionist, and a social worker, plus I had my blood drawn for tests and I had a chest X-ray taken. They gave Mom and Dad a lot of info in the form of pamphlets, books, and DVDs.

What we learned: I'll be getting enzymes every time I eat to help me digest my food. I'll also get ADEK (a vitamin supplement containing vitamins A, D, E, and K) once a day. I'll have visits to the University every month for my first year, then it should slow down to once every three months. Later on I'll have lung clearing exercises and inhaled medications. Oh, I forgot my good news...I gained another 6 ounces in only four days!! I weighed 5 pounds 14 ounces!! I'll be as big as my Daddy someday...ok, maybe not that big... I'll have weekly visits to my regular pediatrician (Dr. Weinberg) to make sure I keep gaining weight. After all the excitement yesterday, I was pooped...see below. Goodbye everyone.
