Other Tidbits

  • We asked if we could start pulmozyme at 4 month mark rather than waiting until 6 months.  Dr Asfour agreed.  Why wait if it could help sooner.  
  • Discussed starting solids at 4 months and eventually adding fats to solids to help boost caloric intake
  • Learned that the bigger (stronger) upper body a CF person has the better their lungs.  Evan will be encouraged to participate in high cardio activities and sports as he gets older to help boost his lung capacity.  
  • Jaxson and daddy got to go see the lights at temple square!
