Last night Valentino, Romeo and I took our regular 7:30pm dead sea salt mineral bath (Romeo always reminds me to add salts for valentino) and then tried out the new oils to diffuse from Marlene. I set the diffuser to work for 5 minutes every 45 minutes throughout the night.
We only woke at 12:30 and then again at 4:30am. Valentino coughed a few times throughout the night. Little coughs. It was a relief compared to the coughing from the previous nights that would result in him gagging and then vomiting.
I was so excited with the results that I ran the diffuser again this morning while I dressed Val nearby and then did an extended reflexology treatment. (Yesterday Marlene and I did a training on working on the whole foot instead of just lungs and digestion…but that’s a whole different post…..)
Throughout the day today Val has pushed out little coughs here and there with good force. I am thinking that it’s not cold/flu related–this is CF coughs. So, I think at our next visit to the specialist we will end up with a new treatment plan that maybe includes nebulizers or some other treatment that I don’t even know about yet.
For now I think he’s breathing easy again.
