WOO HOO!! Thank you God!

Yep, I thank God for giving me the blessings of my husband. He signed up for the group insurance policy at his work so we have insurance coverage now. They have covered Kai's medication - TOBI.

TOBI is Tobramycin in a liquid form, specially formulated for inhalation therapy. It is THE ONE that combats Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa). Kai's last cf clinic visit resulted in not only a new diet but a positive airway culture too!

So, the UPS man should be ringing the bell any moment to hand over the little box of ampoules for the Kai-man's nebulizer treatments! The medication is almost 3600 dollars for ever month of therapy. He will be every other month for the next 6 months. That will hopefully knock out the Pa.

Now, it won't knock it out for good. The type he has is nonmucolytic which means it is the one that comes and goes. The mucolytic type is the one we are trying to avoid since that is the one that doesn't go away....It comes and stays and does some permanent damage to the lungs.

So, TOBI it is...

I think we should name our next dog TOBI. That's kind of cute.

Well, thanks for tuning in.

Off I go to take a nap with the little chunky monkey.
