Gina, Danielle is sick again. It looks like we'll be bringing her in for a tune-up on Friday. This really is frustrating for her and all of us. She did awesome at the youth WSCA show last Sunday-she took 1st in pole's and even beat the class of 14-17 year old's above her. She's now gaming in...

We own a boarding stable and my daughter has CF. She helps with chores, rides and shows her horse and is very healthy. Her doctors say riding and the sports she is in play a role in keeping her healthy. I do keep in the back of my mind that the mold that can grow on hay can be a health...

Our daughter is 13, but when she was a toddler we put her in the down positions. We did it from the time she was an infant. She also had pretty bad reflux, so I didn't do treatments right after feedings.

When our daughter is in the hospital on TOBI they have to turn off the smoke dectors when they do her treatment because the neb sets them off. We had a respiratory therapist that forgot and WOW can that cause a commotion. It scared us all half to death!

I just sent you an email before coming here and saw your post. Yes, I think riding and exercise in general really helps keep lungs clear. DD's doctor says it's almost as good as bronchial drainage. We've also decided to not do as many gaming shows, my gelding is going to be 19 this year and...

Chipped Away, Where are you in Minnesota? We live in Dayton. I can't wait to tell my daughter about how you cleared up when you were riding.... She'll like that. We spend our summer days riding out on trails and go to ocassional horse shows. Where do you usually show your horse? We're...

We had increased her BD's to 4 times a day-we always have to bring her up from twice a day every time she gets sick. And we are pushing fluids and food. She actually "turned the corner" today and is doing much better. I even think she may be back in school before the end of the week. I need...

My daughter who is 13 and has CF was diagnosed with Influenza A on Friday. They started her on Tamiflu right away and her flu symptoms are gone (fever, body aches and so on) BUT she has a terrible hacking wet congested cough and is wheezing. When I listen to her I hear what sounds like bubbles...

Hi Justine! Thanks for your post. My daughter who is 13 has CF. She has very good lung function-in fact she's always at 100% or better (unless she has an exacerbation). We truly believe that the fact she rides horses and plays basketball on a regular basis is why she is so healthy. We bought...
