Courtney has been on antibiotics and Prednisone for two days now. Last night she stopped coughing but when she woke up this morning it started back up. A little bit ago she came up to me and said "mom, shouldn't I be feeling better by now?" I asked her if she was feeling bad and she said...

When Lauren was in the hospital she developed a pretty bad cough. I brought it up to the docs and told them I was very concerned because I had a daughter at home with CF and did not want to take any "bugs" home to her. They would not listen to me and told me everything would be fine...

Lauren started her junior year in high school this year. This is a big year for science projects. Many science projects, if done well, will lead to scholarships. She would like to do a science project that would better the lives of Cfers. She was thinking of maybe trying to find exercises...

While Lauren was being admitted into the hospital we went through the normal process of many people coming into the room and asking us questions. I had at least 4 people ask if Lauren was a organ donor. Each time I said yes they would look at me with a shocked expression. One person just...

Lauren is still in the hospital but feeling MUCH better. She is in no pain now. They have her on strong IV antibiotics. She is eating well, and up and walking. I refuse to show the rage and anger I am feeling toward my ex until Lauren is home and well. Believe me....I am feeling it!!!! but...

BOTH girls got home from North Carolina safe today. Courtney seemed in good spirits and we got along well. Lauren started feeling bad at the Dallas airport and by the time she was home for a few hours she was in severe pain. To make a long story short..........she got a UTI while she was with...

We are taking a family vacation the last week of September to California. I am really excited! I have never been to Cali and can't wait to go! Courtney is REALLY excited. She wants to go to college and live in California. We have tickets to Knotts Berry Farm and Universal Studios. We also...

Please keep my mom and dad in your thoughts and prayers. They live around the area of the major flooding in Texas and I have not heard from them. I am really worried!! Seana

Courtney is at her dad's house in North Carolina. Got a text message from her today that said......... Mom, just wanted to tell you happy birthday. Would have called but I am sick, throat hurts, real bad cough, and a headache. Now, the mom side of me wanted to jump on a plane and fly 1000...

I took the girls to the airport this morning to go to their dad's house for the summer. The girls are older and able to handle themselves in airports, and they need to go see their dad seeing he will be leaving for Iraq next month so it was not a real emotional moment. No tears, just big hugs...

We went to the local waterpark today. Spent all day there...about 6 hours. I took food with us.......lots of water, cokes, meat and cheese sandwiches on whole wheat bread, apples, bananas, chips, and we ordered some funnel cakes while we were there. Courtney stayed hydrated (drank about 3 16...

Title says it all. Anyone heard how Lindsey is this morning?? Seana

BAD FIRST- PFT's were not to good. My FEV1/FVC are 71%. What is considered "really" bad? PFT numbers still confuse me a bit. Chest x-ray looked okay. Nothing real serious. GOOD NEWS- I was pleasantly surpised how painless the mole removal was. Hardly any pain at all. SOOO....now we wait...

With my hubby and I trying to eat healthier we are eating a lot more chicken and turkey. Tonight I will be cooking chicken. I am using boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Anyone have some good recipes that I could use to make this more fattening for Courtney? Maybe some stuffed chicken...

When Courtney had her blood drawn today she said it hurt more than normal. After she took the bandage off it was quite obvious the vein was blown (lots of bruising on and around the spot and swelling). Any suggestions on how to take the pain away? Ice, heat?? Thanks Seana

Exactly 4 years ago today we meet a wonderful doctor. We were told Courtney had CF and Dr. Noel entered our lives. As most of you know Courtney has not been taking her meds like she should be. I told her she was going to have to tell the doctor that today. He was quite unpleased when he...

As some of you know I went to the docs yesterday for my knee. I was telling him I was having some chest pain and shortness of breath lately. We discussed CF and the fact that I had borderline sweat tests but never went and had the DNA test done. The doc set me up for a DNA test, PFT's, and...

As some of you know I have been working out everyday for the past couple of months. I have been eating healthier and have noticed since starting this my lung issues seem to be improving. Anyhow........to my question. When it comes to my bras I spare no expense. I normally go to Victoria...

You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Please let us know that you are safe! Seana

The doc put me on a 3 day course of Prednisone. I took my first dose around 2:00 pm. Had to be at work at 3:00pm. By 3:30 I was walking around feeling like I was "floating". I could not concentrate, and felt like I was "in a dream". I kept dropping things and felt dizzy. I was also having...
