Tidbits


  • Back to green light! Evan's weight gain is excellent!  His height is a bit concerning at this point, but we are going to say it's measurement error at this point and keep monitoring it.

  • Evan cannot be around fires, hot tubs, or onion fields.  All are bad for his lungs.  And he should only swim in pools that are chemically treated and well taken care of.  
  • Evan could possibly qualify for studies at age 2 if VX809 is out by then.  VX809 coupled with kalydeco is showing improvements in lung function so far in people with Evan's mutation.
  • Discussed continuing to increase the fats in Evan's solids with the nutritionist.
  • Meet Dr Asfour - Evan's Pediatric Pulmonologist
