CPT - Paleness

[Guest guest]

Hi Joe, my son who is 5 years old is also pale. Always has been, I

questioned his docs about it and they said it was just another part of having

cf. also cannot handle the heat either, we also live in Florida. We try

to let play outside for about 20 minutes a day 3 times a week to help

his paleness, He actually is getting some color to him and looking less pale.

I am sure there are others on the list who will be able to tell you the reason

on it, there are some smart cookies on this board, Okie dokie

Hi friends,

Abby is now 25lbs. which is 95th percentile for her age. She is

doing very well and we remain optimistic and thankful since she isn't

on anything but ADEK and Zantac. Because of her size it is getting

difficult to perform CPT on her while she lies in my lap. I still

manage alright but Kathy does CPT in the a.m. and although she does a

good job of it, it is very tough. We are considering a mechanical

percusser. If anyone has any advice on them please let me know.

Also, I have always thought that Abby looked a little pale. She

rarely is outside for more than a few minutes at a time because of

the heat here in FL not to mention that she isn't quite walking yet.

However she seems to lack some of the normal color you see in

babies. She is always full of energy, sleeps and eats well and is

very strong. I just wonder if she is not getting something she

needs. As Kim pointed out once, the Vitamax Abby takes is not a

complete multi-vitamin so if I gave her one she may overdo some

things that the ADEK does have. I read some others here on the list

had observed this in their children but I missed out on that

discussion.

Any comments would be appreciated on either topic.

Thanks,

Joe

We have been giving Patti (2 wcf) the manatech products for 3 months now. After

the first two weeks she lost her paleness and gained a nice rosy color.
