Blood Work for Colin

About 3 weeks ago Colin went in for another bronchoscopy. Once again the bronchoscopy showed fluid and bacteria in his lungs. This is concerning because his lungs should not be harboring so much bacteria. So the doctors have ordered more blood work to test for Cystic fibrosis.
  I have spent all week researching about CF. There are some very depressing facts about it. There are also some promising facts out there.
   He had 7 vials of blood taken today. We should have the preliminary results back next Thursday when we see his pulmonologist. He was so brave. He didn't cry or fight or even flinch. Even when she dug in his arm because the blood had stopped flowing.
  It will be a long week, but hopefully we have answers next week.
