I took Baby R to the CF Clinic again today. We haven't been there in over a month, so it was reassuring to know that she is doing wonderfully! Her weight gain has slowed a little bit because she has been eating solid foods, but she is still doing well. As long as she stays at the 50th percentile or above in weight then she will not have to get a gastric feeding tube. The doctor was also very happy with her length, she is back up to the 75th percentile!
We spent a little time talking about things she is not supposed to do, and they were interesting enough to share:
- She is not supposed to be near onion fields
- No swimming in "swimming holes" (stagnant water that is not chlorinated) pools, lakes, oceans, etc... are fine
- U-pick farms aren't allowed
- She also can't be in hot tubs
These were just random facts that I figured I would share with everyone (just in case I ever forget). All in all the visit went well. The doctor is letting us go 7 weeks before our next visit because he was so impressed with her growth and health. Good news, good news...

interesting about the onion fields...
Man those onion fields and hot tubs are hard to resist when you're 5 months old.
Will you post about cystic fibrosis sometime on Sugar & Spice?
(In addition I could use your solid feeding tips--see my post on S&S.)
