Oh yes, as she nears 6 months, Miss Lucia is close to 19 lbs! Her last CF Clinic appt went very well, Lucy remains 98-99% for weight & height and then the weight to length ratio (goal >50%) she is 65%!! We are so very happy & thankful for these wonderful numbers. No changes were made at the last appointment - we stopped the hypertonic saline nebulizer treatments after just a few days because of the wet cough they caused. No word yet on when they may restart them, but I'm guessing not for 6 months or more. Dr. Ricker was very pleased & will continue the monthly appointments just to stay on top of things for this first year. Dr. Abdullah (peds GI) feels she's doing great with her weight gain & is happy with the stooling pattern she's developed. We'll see Dr. Abdullah again in 2 months. He's keeping her on Zantac & said she's right inbetween needing 1 or 2 enzymes capsules with her feedings. At this point, if it's a little/snack feed then she gets one but with a big feeding she gets two.

Seriously...she is BEAUTIFUL! So, so perfect and has just the sweetest face. I miss you so much but I'm afraid my little scallywags would sicken your princess in a second. So for now just know that I wish we could see you and can't wait for maybe a dinner date soon! Lots of love...Katy P.S. I love the stats on Lucy! Thanks for posting them. You know it's the nurse brain that craves those percentiles! :)
