I have always been told to add fat and salt to my girls food. My youngest is too young to comment on at this stage but my eldest I have had much experience with. Mikayla has always been of a healthy weight but I still add what fat I can to her food. I spread thicker than normal butter on her...

I am looking at some on my fingernails now and I am the mother of 2 cfer's....I don't think it has any relevance to CF and I am sure I have been told what causes it before, but I can't remember!

Sean I can see all your dilemma's and there is no easy way around them because it really is the way the workforce is. Wish I could help with your chosen career path but you really need a lucky break from someone in that field (if you were in Australia I might have been able to help with...

The premies can be harder to tell with these things. They take a little while to catch up to their weight and height chart so it's hard to say whats normal. My eldest was premie and she was tiny for ages but she was consistently putting on weight and the doctors were never worried about her. My...

ok so I can only assume that the purpose is for young children only as it is the easiest way to get a sputum culture. Adding logic to the equation, Mikayla can now bring up mucus so her bronchs should stop. I have read though that pseudo can be eliminated in young children if caught early...

I think the youngest age group studied in the testing was 6 years old. I am not sure what the doctors are recommending for the younger cfer's but I will certainly ask when we go to cf clinic in a week.

Could be an Australian thing! So far it has proved beneficial though. My youngest has her first one booked for 17th Feb. She will be 15 weeks old and it's a bit horrible to see them go under anaesthetic at that age.

Slightly off the topic at hand here but Sharon how do you find having another family member with CF? Are you worried about them playing together? My sister in law is about to have a baby and I am so excited. She is a carrier and her partners test was negative however they only tested for about...

I feel extactly the same about this site Tanja. Before stumbling across these forums, I had so many unanswered questions about future possibilities. I have a much clearer picture of what the older CFer's seem to go through now and it helps to understand it more in so many ways. Being that our...

Mikayla was 5 months old when she cultured pseudo, they put her on IV TOBI in hospital for 2 weeks and then nebulized TOBI for 3 months. After this her pseudo was gone. That is the benefit of her having cultured pseudo at such a young age becasue they can usually erradicate it completely if the...
