Rise and Shine! Every morning, Raul takes his morning meds: Zenpep enzymes, his study drug Alyftrek (he’s in the clinical trial for FDA approval for ages 2-6), and a Dekas multivitamin. He drinks a boost+ shake every morning to make sure he keeps weight on. Sometimes the shake is warmed up in a mug, and he calls it his coffee!

In the morning he also does an albuterol inhaler, sodium chloride nebulized for 10-15 minutes, pulmozyme nebulized 5-10 minutes and fluticadone inhaler after his vest treatment.
