Kelsie had her routine CF checkup today and as expected, everything is great! They were so very pleased with how well she is doing. Her nutritional status was "outstanding" and she continues to remain 50-75th percentile for weight and BMI and close to the 80th percentile for height. She weighed 33.3lbs! She has gained 7lbs since this time last year. And most importantly, she hasn't needed antibiotics in over a year!!! I can't even express how thankful I am for her health. When she was diagnosed, I expected a much different outcome with multiple respiratory infections but that hasn't been the case at all. She has had probably 3 little colds this year but only had a little runny nose or nasal congestion. No cough at all in over a year. I just remember this time last year we were going in for her bronchoscopy anticipating a likely admission but everything turned out fine and she hasn't even really gotten sick since. So thankful to God! I know He is taking care of her and protecting her each and every day.
Here are some pictures from our visit today. Her doctor just moved so we got to meet her new doctor, Dr. Dellon and we just loved her! Kelsie was not shy either. She was talking up a storm and sharing all kinds of random memories with her!! "Member(remember), I jup(just)...." and on and on she would go with any random story on her mind. I just love how talkative she is! So much fun!
Checking her ears...(she LOVES getting check ups, and giving them too!)
