Cayston


Nick and I are SO exited about this new medicine that he is about to be starting.Believe it or not his insurance is actually going to cover it so we are even more excited about that. Back in 2008 Nick participated in A study for this drug called Aztreonam which is now called cayston and he loved it. When you do A study you get either A placebo which is nothing its fake or the real thing, We knew He had gotten the real thing because it worked so well. For Nick to be able to use this medicine now along with other cfers after participating in the study to get it approved is pretty cool.
Nick grows something in his lungs called pseudomonas which is A type of bacteria. This drug is suppose to help improve Nicks respiratory system. So we are really excited about this.Great things are to come with the research that the foundation is doing. Its good to see where all of our hard work from fundraising really paying off.

Amanda, I met you and Nick at The Great Strides Walk on Fernandina Beach last weekend. I am sooooo glad that Nick will be starting Cayston soon. I know he will feel even better than he does from his gym work. He is an inspiration and keep on keeping on. Blessings, Jody
