We have a new mom here that posted this elsewhere on the site. Just putting here so it gets seen. <div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote> Vanessa: Hi I have a 4 year old son dignosed with CF at 6 monts old he has delF508 & G551D mutations, I understand that those are the most common mutation. He's...

Three Rednecks were working up on a cell phone tower: Cooter, Ronnie and Donnie. As they start their descent Cooter slips, falls off the tower and is killed instantly. As the ambulance takes the body away, Ronnie says, 'Well, darn, someone should go and tell his wife..' Donnie says, 'OK, I'm...

Ok, simply put this thread has no topic, thus why it is in OT. I joined 1 year ago next week, and I'm 19 posts away from 500 posts here. Prior to joining I used to harass my loving wife endlessly for spending so much time on message boards, and I had never been active on one. Needless to say...

One year, a husband decided to buy his mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift. The next year, he didn't buy her a gift. When she asked him why, he replied, "Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year!" And that's when the fight started..... My wife...

We have been noticing nosebleeds (small & more like ooze vs pouring) in M lately. They seem to occur almost everytime he has HTS, and occasionally other times. Just curious if anyone else has this issue with HTS, or if it is just the dry air.....

Ok, since many have asked. My wife (testifytolove) had our baby today at lunchtime. He was 6lbs, 6oz and 18"; mom & baby are doing well. Here is a pic taken about 30 mins old. <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y81/TestifyToLove/Photo_121808_005.jpg">

In the beginning was the plan. And then came the Assumptions. And the Assumptions were without form. And the plan was without substance. And darkness was upon the face of the Workers. And they spoke among themselves saying "It is a crock of sh*t, and it stinketh." And the Workers went unto...

Hey, I was talking to some members on here and some had not heard of these. If your kids are on home IV's, tell you home health agency that you want your IV abx in these infusion balls. The pharmacy puts the drug into the balls so they can prepare with any IV med. I've heard of some that had...

Well, we found a way to add some more excitement to life. Our son w/Hemophilia hit his head this morning and it is still bleeding after 2 treatments. (FYI, he is/should be fine this happens sometimes.) Hemotologist has ordered head CT-ASAP to confirm all is ok. However, I'm with our cystic...

Ok, so we just got word this morning our son's last culture showed resistant PA. It is highly resistant to 2 different classes of abx: Quinolones (Cipro/Levaquin/etc) and Aminoglycosides (Amikacin & Tobramycin <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif" border="0">) It is still...

Ok, I need to know if I'm really as odd as the nurses are implying. My kids all go to bed around 8-8:30PM at home. While we are in the hospital, I am trying to start bedtime process by this time and lights-out in our room by 9 (he is only 6). For some reason, the nurses & RT's keep showing up...

I just have to brag on my wife. For anyone not aware my son w/cf & I are currently stuck in the hospital on iv's. However, this morning my wife baked the turkey we had already bought, cooked all the sides and then packed the whole family and the dinner into our van and drove the hour to the...

Hey, we are on the inside for IV abx, and he is on Timentin which we have used before, but the added Amikin (Amikacin) which I was not familiar with. Looking online it has some nasty side-effects so just curious if any of you have used and what you thought of it. Thanks,

Well, it sounded so easy. M is scheduled for outpatient oral surgery next Tuesday. We had a pre-op check today with the CF clinic to get the ok. Unfortunately, he has had a cold (already on oral abx). CF doc would not approve him for surgery w/o IV abx. In addition, apparently his sleep...

To all of you who have asked me or someone you know with a large family 'WHY', a couple friend of ours with a large family just found out they were pregnant.   This is how they announced to everyone, thought it might save me answering so many questions <img...

Hey, a new user melodylovesmatt posted a heartfelt thread under partners looking for insight. Only an adult cystic or possibly their partner is going to be of help so I figured I'd put here to get your attention. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Young Chuck moved to Texas and bought a Donkey from a farmer for $100.00. The farmer agreed to deliver the Donkey the next day. The next day he drove up and said, 'Sorry son, but I have some bad News, the donkey died.' Chuck replied, 'Well, then just give me my money back.' The farmer...

Dear Wife: I'm writing you this letter to tell you that I'm leaving you forever. I've been a good man to you for seven years and I have nothing to show for it. These last two weeks have been hell. Your boss called to tell me that you quit your job today and that was the last straw. Last...

I just have to say that we got an e-flow for our son this week. It also happens to be the start of a Tobi month and I'm in love. It is a bit more work to wash/sterilize/ect. But his Tobi (compounded) takes 4 minutes. This alone is saving us over an hour a day in neb treatments. I was...
