It has been a long time since we last sent out an update on Gabrielle. We are actually excited that it has been such a long time since this means that everything has been going good for her in regards to the Cystic Fibrosis.
Today was Gabrielle’s monthly appointment with the CF Clinic and also a revisit with her GI doctor. Things looked good with both visits but Gabrielle is showing signs that it is time to start a new phase in the treatment for her CF. Right now we are preparing for Gabrielle to be admitted to Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital so she can receive IV antibiotics. The treatment last for two weeks with at least the first week being in the hospital, the second week is dependent on how things go and how Ashley and I feel. We are waiting for the doctor to call us to let us know when things have been arranged. We are expecting the enter the hospital on Friday (11/6) but it may be tomorrow (11/5).
When she is first admitted she will be sedated so they can collect samples from her lungs to test for the different bacteria that are present. This will allow them to give the proper antibiotics. Since she will be sedated her GI doctor wants to look in her throat and stomach to help figure out the issues she is having with reflux so he can better treat it.
This is new to us and as we figure things out we will keep you updated. For now we ask that you be in prayer for us as we prepare to enter the hospital and begin this treatment.
To God Be All The Glory!!!
Jeff, Ashley, & Gabrielle
