Well, the dreaded time has come.
We were hoping we'd be the lucky families who don't have to deal with CF cleanouts for awhile, but tomorrow we'll be admitted for J's first cleanout.
I have lots of mixed emotions. When he was first diagnosed, we were told to "plan on" 2 weeks of cleanout every year. We got through his first year without a cleanout, and hoped that meant we wouldn't have to go in for awhile!
Well, this lingering virus has gooped up his lungs, which creates a breeding ground for bacteria. The hope through this cleanout is just that, that we'll be able to clean out his lungs from all the gunk settling in there.
Prayers would be greatly appreciated for strength for Matt and me, calm for Jason (he'll have IV antibiotics through a PICC line and 4 treatments a day), that Jason would continue to eat well and gain weight like he has been (praise the Lord!), that the mucus build up in his lungs would get out, that infection won't develop, and that God would use this in our lives to encourage others and shine His light.
I'll try to post everyday with an update on how we're doing... here goes nothing??
