Lanie's first visit to the CF clinic.

Today we headed to Atlanta for Lanie's first visit to the CF clinic. Lanie got to meet all of the team that will be taking care of her in the future. First they weighed her and she weighs 11 lbs 13ozs and was 24 inches long. The first person to come in was the nurse practitioner and she was so happy that Lanie has gained so much weight. She said that Lanie's lungs sound good and everything looks great!!! Then the nutritionist came in to meet with us and she said the only thing we needed to do different is start salt in her formula since it was summer, so she doesn't dehydrate. She told us Lanie was in the Fiftieth percentile in her weight, and she said the better ther weight gain the healthier the lungs would be. Next thing was to learn CPT to help the mucus stay broken up and off the walls of her lungs. So over all our first visit went very well, I was so happy that Lanie is doing so good.
