Yep, it’s true, Adalyn has Pseudomonas. We hate to even say the word out loud, but there’s no getting around it. In short, Pseudomonas is a nasty bacteria that we all can get but CF patients have an especially hard time fighting off. Adalyn had it way back in August of 2013 and luckily has been Pseudomonas free ever since. She has been on antibiotics (oral and inhaled) for about two weeks now trying to fight it off and she has two more weeks to go before she’ll go back in for another throat culture to see if the treatments were a success. If not, she’ll more than likely be hospitalized and a picc line inserted in her arm until there’s no sign of the bacteria. But, we’re remaining hopeful that we are able to beat this thing before that can happen. Please keep Adalyn in your thoughts and prayers. There is some good news though! Adalyn is not symptomatic and she didn’t let the extra breathing treatments and medicines ruin her trip to Red Top Mountain. We stayed there over the weekend and had a blast running around on the trails and just enjoying mother nature.
We hate to hear she has had to go through all this. We always pray for her but will add some extra prayers. Love you all Karen
