    Working Moms

    Hi, <br /> I am also a teacher. I've worked since my son with cf was 6. Working has been fine for me. As teachers, I think our schedules work well with cf. My son, Brad, does many of his hospital stays during our school breaks when they can be arranged that way. When your son starts school...

    vesting upside-down

    The last time my 16 year old son was in the hospital, they tilted the bed while he did the vest so he was inclined with his head toward the floor. It seemed to help! When we got home, we decided to try it. We put a bunch of pillows under his back and hips, and had him tilt backward. It looked...

    Bronchoscopy w/ bronchoalveolar lavage, and brushing.

    Yes, my son has had this done quite a few times. He will be put to sleep, so it's not very traumatic. My son doesn't mind getting it done at all. Your son may cough a lot in the hours after the bronch. Other than that, there's just the yucky feeling of coming out of anesthesia.

    Moving to Hawaii

    Oh, in response to another poster's point about making sure there is a cf "team", there is a team at the Tripler cf clinic. On clinic days, you will see the nutrionist, psychologist, social worker, gastrologist, etc.
