The tapestry of the life of a medically complex family

The Deli Drawer

If you’ve read much of my blog, you know my kids & I follow a special diet. We eat organic & homemade, without grains, starches or complex sugars. The Specific Carbohydrate Diet has no processed food of any kind on it- no “deli” items come to mind that need be in our fridge- & good thing.

Currently our deli drawer is housing about $25,000.00 worth of medication. The twins new regimen for inhaled (nebulized) medications includes Tobramycin. TOBI is a string antibiotic that kills the types of bacteria kids with trachs tend to grow out regularly, and occasionally in large enough populations to cause actual illness. Our pulmonologist wants to be pro-active & avoid these infections for the twins while we work to avoid other viral illnesses that might land us in the hospital again this winter. Yay for proactive healthcare & yay insurance.

What’s in your deli drawer?
