Yeah!! So excited that the Cipro is done!! She is coughing only a little and her chest sounds better. Pray that the Cipro did get rid of her Staph in her lungs. I think it did but we will not know until we get back from the doctor on April the 19th.
Eleanor has been pretty good about taking the Cipro even though I know it must taste horrible. I have been so proud of her! So as a surprise she received a full size Aladdin and Jasmine doll in the mail. She is sooo excited!!
She continues to be a good big sister to Thomas! Thomas always has a smile for his big sister and really seems to adore her! What a blessing they are together!
We are now in the fundraising season of CF....
We are selling Belk Charity Sale tickets for $5.00, BBQ plate tickets for May 4th, and I have set up my page for donations at http://www.cff.org/Great_Strides/ColeenGuilford8098.
Thank you so much for your support and prayers more update and pictures to come!
Happy Easter!! Christ is Risen!! HE is RISEN INDEED!!
Coleen, Robert, Eleanor and Thomas

Eleanor update
We are offically on Cipro! Yea and boo! So happy we can get it in her body and get the Staph infection out. Boo that her tummy has already started hurting. We are doing probiotics to help her but just pray that they work for her throughout this 21 day regimen we are on.
Eleanor didn't take a nap today or yesterday and it seems to have caught up with her. I am pretty sure that those of you who know me know that I really like her to take a nap when she is not having trouble with anything. She just acts better because she is more rested. I KNOW, I know she is four but her body is different than most four year olds. Now that she is fighting this infection in her lungs she seems to be more tired. Ever since she started the Cipro her cough seems to have gotten worse and she just seems to be a little out of sorts. All of that to say that two days of no napping means a tired, ill little girl.
Since she didn't take her nap today I announced that she would go to bed early. As any of you CF Mama's know out there that can be quite an undertaking! She normally goes to bed around 9 - 930. Tonight she was in bed at 815. I was quite sure we would have some moments where she would come out of her room with the normal excuses as to why she could not go to sleep. However, she went straight to sleep. Not ONE peep from her! This tells me how tired she was. She rarely does this and tells me just how much of a toll her CF is taking on her right now.
Please pray for her body to rest and repair itself while she is asleep and that she will take her naps so she can feel normal. I pray that she wakes up tomorrow morning and this good nights rest helps her to feel rested and great in the morning.
Much Love,
Coleen

It's been three months!
So after three months of no blogging I thought I would let you know we are still here! I have not had an abundance of time lately to blog but wanted to update you on several things.
Eleanor is doing good. She has had a busy summer. We have gone to birthday parties, the pool, Gulf World, the beach, and spend the night parties. I think the last is her favorite one! She starts her round of TOBI tomorrow. Everyday she talkes about her little baby brother and what she is going to teach him! What she is going to teach him varies on what mood she is in but all of it is very funny!!
Speaking of her little brother he is due on October 14 and right now I am currently 25 weeks. His ultrasound for his growth back at 16 weeks showed everything was on track and looking good. We do have one glitch. For some reason I only have one artery and one vein in the umbilical cord. You are supposed to have two arteries. They say it can cause slow growth but he has always measured above average at every ultrasound. Please help us pray that this will continue to not be a problem and this little boy in my belly will be big and strong. We know the Lord has good things for him just like he has for Eleanor. My next appointment is July 19 and will have another ultrasound. I will update everyone then.
One more piece of exciting news! We raised over 51,000.00 at the Destin CF walk this year! Thank you for all of your support of not only Eleanor but of all of the kids and adults who suffer with this disease.
