August CF Clinic Update

So, today Alison had CF clinic and, it was not one of her best. Her weight is still of huge concern to Dr. Shell, she only gained .2 k. Her PFT's were good at 106, but still not up to what they were pre-spring.

Dr. Shell and Alison had a heart to heart about eating, and how important it is to her health. In particular, how important it is for a dancer to keep her strength up and stay healthy.

There is a direct connection between pulmonary health and nutrician. Basically, Alison is the size and weight of a 4 year old...in case you've lost track, she is 7 1/2.

He is really concerned and talked to her about alternatives (G-tube) and told her that she is old enough to understand and be a part of the solution.

I think it was good for her to hear it from him. She was upset, but understood. So, after cheerleading we went to Kroger and she did some shopping. Here is what my pantry now looks like...

Full of Junk! All stuff he said to have her eat. I will try anything!
