Well, after his clinic visit 2 weeks ago the Pulmo ordered a sleep study. Then he shared that even if the results are not what he is expecting that he is likely going to ask the ENT to remove tonsles/adnoids anyways. So my 6yr old & I get the chance to spend the night in the hospital, yippee...

<b>Church </b> One Sunday morning, a mother went in to wake her son and tell him it was time to get ready for church, to which he replied, 'I'm not going.' 'Why not?' she asked. I'll give you two good reasons,' he said. '(1), they don't like me, and (2), I don't like them.' His mother...

<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25918120/">quake news</a> Just checking on all our friends in the LA area, looks like they are saying no real damage/injuries so hopefully not to much going on. On a lighter note: if it just lasted a bit longer...

When we got M, he was g-tube dependent (Mic-key); however we have not used the pump since he came home as we discovered something amazing: If you just feed him and deal with the CF poop instead of starving him so he wouldn't; then he gains weight w/o needing night-feedings <img...

Ok, I have harassed my wife for years as she is one on several other boards but my question is this: This is the only board I'm on, I have been here 2 months and seem to spend a lot of time reading/browsing but have only 50 posts. Yet some of you have crossed the 2-3K mark and simple math...

we now know where our son's gallbladder went. While in the hospital 2 weeks ago we had an U/S and the tech looked at me very seriously and asked 'does he have a gallbladder?'. Needless to say, I think I surprised her with "I think so...." Having adopted him when he was 6 we didn't get full...

Ok, my son & I have been in the hospital since Monday evening for a tune-up & testing. He went NPO from Mon bedtime until 3PM yesterday so they could sedate him for a PICC, and then again from 4AM-11AM today for a chest CT. This means we have missed at least 3 meals and countless snacks in the...

Ok, our son came home last week and had his first clinic visit in Atlanta on Monday. The Dr was not pleased with the care he has been getting at his old clinic. They had been obsessed with a couple of aspects, primarily his bowel/continence issues, and ignored everything else. Including...

he has CF! We picked up our son yesterday being a dad, I had to check and licked him!!!! Not much doubt since he has gene test confirmation and huge case history, but we can rest assured he has it. Just thought I'd share a laugh as my wife about died when I did it. Tom
