Hey all! My daughter with CF is in kindergarten this year. She's had a couple field trips so far and my husband has always been a chaperone. Another field trip is coming up and the teacher told me he didn't have to be a chaperone because they wouldn't be eating anything on this field trip...

My children are 18 months apart and both have CF (they are 6 and 4 right now). We haven't been given any recommendations about their care. We do our best to keep as much separate as we can, but they do their treatments in the same room on opposite ends of the couch. Even though we sterilize...

I'm sure this has been asked a billion, trillion times...but alas, once more.  Does anyone use a germ free humidifier during the seasonal changes?  When the heat turns on, is when my kiddos seem most likely to catch their colds, and I was wondering if I should look into it.  We do the whole...
