For my husband, my dad, and all the other Veterans....

Thank you.....

I cry thinking about your dedication, your sacrifice, your love for your country. Without you, without every Veteran, we would not be living in a free country.

I honor you, respect you, thank you.

I love you Scott and Dad with all my heart!!!

~ Zen-Pep ~ 3-4 capsules with all meals and snacks
digestive enzymes to break down and absorb fats
~AquAdeks ~ 1 daily
special fat soluble vitamins
~Prevacid ~ 15 mg. once daily
proton pump inhibitor that helps with the efficacy of her enzymes

~Azithromycin ~ 250 mg. Mon., Wed., Fri., used for chronic lung infection, Bronchiectasis
~DHA ~ 500 mg. once daily
omega-3 fatty acid to decrease inflammation

~Calcium ~ due to CF patients being prone to Osteopenia and Osteoporosis at a very early age

~Albuterol ~ 3 ml. by nebulizer 2-3 times daily
inhaled bronchodilator to open the airways
~Hypertonic Saline 7% ~ 4 ml. by nebulizer BID
an extra salty sterile solution used to help clear mucus from the lungs & in Zoe's case we are using a face mask so the medicine will go through her nasal passages hopefully keeping her sinuses clearer
~Pulmozyme ~ 2.5 ml. by nebulizer once daily
thins the thick secretions so they are easier to cough out of the lungs

~Flovent ~ A steroid to help reduce inflammation
~Incourage Vest ~ 30 minutes in morning after all 3 nebulized meds
a chest physiotherapy vest that fits on her like a ski jacket, it inflates with air, then vibrates at different frequencies, to help loosen the mucus so she can cough it out
~Manual CPT or Percussor 5000 ~ in evening after nebulized meds
manual CPT is clapping on her lung areas front and back with your hand or a soft percussor cup, the Percussor 5000 is an electric handheld percussor, these are both done for 15 minutes

~Monthly Port a Catheter flushes ~ administered by her home health nurse. 5 ml of 100 unit Heparin

~Food ~ Zoe requires around 2500-3000 calories a day to maintain her weight at a healthy level
