tough kid

Ricky is still struggling, but he's an amazingly tough kid. He's tired and dizzy a lot, and has a hard time with strenuous activity. Today he did go back to school; they were so happy to see him there! However, he struggled with staying awake and finally ended up napping the last couple of hours. Poor kid.

At home he was tired and whiny too, and realllly wanted to go to bed at 7:30 even though he was supposed to take a shower first. ;) I know that the more he moves around and exercises his lungs, the faster he'll recover from this. I called the CF nurse to confirm this and ask if there was anything else we should be doing and she basically said to get him to do some minor to moderate activity to get his lungs working. She is also concerned about his bowels; turned out she saw him on rounds with the doctors when he was in and knows about his backup problems. The good news is that he has been pooping since he came home. ;) Eating, not so much!

Guess that is all from here for now...
