    Mickey button popped out!

    Since it hasn't been mentioned, I will point out that there is an insurance problem with her just drinking the enteral formula. For nearly two years, Micah opted to drink his enteral formula instead of using his g-tube. It worked well and he gained weight that way. His doctors wanted us to...

    Minute Clinic--guess we can't go there any more

    Oops, got distracted. I meant to also say that if you are concerned it's strep, your PCP can fit sick patients in for same day usually, can run a rapid strep and can call and consult with the CF doctor if there are any concerns about treatment.

    Minute Clinic--guess we can't go there any more

    If it is respiratory related, I call the CF clinic. If it is GI related, I call the CF clinic or the liver clinic. If it is liver related, I call the liver clinic. If it is anything else, I call the PCP. There are times we go ages without seeing the PCP simply because there isn't anything...

    When is it time?
