Things have been pretty busy around here lately and I have not had time to update on Madison's health. She is doing GREAT! She is gaining weight well, eating very well, and most nights, sleeping all night long. She still has her days where things don't seem quit right, but the majority of the time she is a happy baby. Praise God!
Madison just turned 5 months old which is hard to believe. She is growing to fast and learning a lot of new things. She rolled over for the first time Monday. Of course, I didn't have the video camera nor my camera around when she did, and she hasn't done it since. She is sitting up on her own fairly well and grabbing for anything and everything she can get her hands on. Including my earrings, glasses, and and any jewelry I have on.
Last month we went to UVA and she had a great checkup. They changed slot of her meds but it has helped so much. She is now doing breathing treatments 3 times a day instead of one, but she isn't throwing up mucus like she was. That means it is thinning the mucus out which is what we want. They also started her on a new enzyme which has made a huge difference. She wasn't eating as often, until recently. She is outgrowing her dosage so when we go back, Dr. Gaston will probably increase that. They also believe that her acid reflux is not as severe now. However, CF patients usually are kept on something for acid reflux because it helps their digestion.
We go to Wytheville next week and I hope she gets a good checkup like she did last month. They may start her on rice cereal, fruits, and veggies. I just hope she does well with that, because when I give her meds to her now she spits out the apples.
I am sorry I didn't get to post any pictures but I will soon. Thank you all so much for your love, support, and prayers. I honestly believe Madison is doing as well as she is because so many people are praying for my precious little girl. Madison will continue to grow and get stronger and stronger. She is a fighter already and will continue to be.
