Dayson Report

For those of you new to our life, Dayson has cystic fibrosis. Last month at his clinic visit, they told us that his lung function wasn't where it should be and that he might have to spend a week in the hospital for a "tune-up"  but they were willing to let us try for 3 weeks to see if we could get his lung function back up without having to go to the hospital. They put him on an antibiotic for 14 days and we did 3 treatments (about 40 min each) a day. We also had a lot of family and friends praying and fasting for him on Sunday August 5th. When we went back to the Pediatric Pulmonologist on August 9th, they reported that his lung function was much better and he would not have to be hospitalized! They told us to come back in 2 months and to keep doing at least 2 treatments a day. We were thrilled!! We are so grateful that we have so much support from family and friends and we were so grateful that so many people had participated in praying and fasting for Dayson. Cystic fibrosis is a daily struggle for our little family and it will be a lifelong fight. I personally loathe cystic fibrosis and would take it away from Dayson in a heart-beat, but we all know that that's not how life works. So we continue to be super consistent with all of his medications and treatments and try to enjoy the simple and small things in life. Dayson is a trooper and we are all so blessed to have him in our lives.
