Good afternoon...sorry this post is later than what it usually is for the day. Brent had a restful night last night. He woke and felt pretty good. I got over here to the hospital around 8 or so then at 8:30 he started coughing up blood...pure. Kinda scary/nerve wrecking since we thought he was feeling so well. The Dr's aren't concerned because it's typical CF symptoms him coughing up blood. Once he got it out he was tired but it didn't last long-the coughing up blood-thankfully! They did draw labs and they took an x-ray of his chest to double check everything is OK.
Rachel got here about 10 this morning. Brent was glad to see her come and liven the place up some. His Mom and dad should be here anytime now. They are staying at the Ronald McDonald house as well for the night.
We can not say enough how thankful we are to have the Ronald McDonald house to stay it-it's the comfort of our own home...truly!
I will update you all if anything changes otherwise I will catch you all in the morning! Love to all!

We continue to pray for a Miracle to happen...that Brent will get perfect lungs and he can live a struggle free life.

Thanks for all the love and prayers...it's what gets us through!

Love-Trudy (&Brent)

Good evening! First thing this morning we went to Chicago to meet with the Dr who will be over seeing Brent’s photopheresis treatments. We had all of our questions answered and are hopeful that the treatments will work.  His first treatment will be Thursday morning of this week and we will have to go again on Friday. The treatments have to be done in Chicago and-we were glad to hear-the treatment will only be 2 hrs long!! The one side effects he has is that he can’t be exposed to the sun the first 24 hrs after treatment. This is because they use UV light in the treatment and it takes 24 hrs for his body to absorb any excess of the UV sensitive drug that may be in his body.    Other than that he should feel the same as usual!  He was also scheduled to get a port (under the skin) placed today. After checking his arms they concluded that they didn’t need the port because he has great veins!  We appreciate all the love, support & prayers everyone ha...
