    IV antibiotics

    You really should ask his doctor to run a sensitivity test on the organisms your husband cultures. It will determine what antibiotics are effective for the bugs he grows. What antibiotics work for one person may not work for another due to antibiotic resistances.

    CF and Marijuana

    Really, this is the adults forum - we should be able to discuss adult problems. It's not our issue to police the teens on this forum or anywhere else for that matter. In the end, anyone can google 'pot brownie' which turns up almost 2 million hits. If nothing else, Emily is right. The...

    Diabetes testing?

    Yes, the glucose tolerance test at the U of MN clinic is done in the Masonic Day Hospital, and they set up an IV line. It's part of the annual studies, and so they also use the IV line to get all of the blood draws for the required tests done(vitamin levels, etc, etc). After that, there's a...

    Himalayan Crystal Salt

    I'm sorry. That entire page was filled with scientific inaccuracies. I would not trust a single thing on it. "the Purest Salt on Earth" and yet it contains "contains no toxins and all 84 minerals and elements" In other words - a ton of impurities. If something is pure - it doesn't contain...

    QUestion about amount of fluid at one time into lungs (GSH based - lung pains)

    I have to agree with Risa. Jeremy stopped doing the month on/off schedule with Coly when he started feeling better after his last IV set two years ago. He only does a month now when he starts to feel worse. We even had the doctor's blessing to do so.

    QUestion about amount of fluid at one time into lungs (GSH based - lung pains)

    For future reference... 1 cc = 1 mL. Science lesson for the day from your local chemist. I don't know if there' a breaking point, but one would assume so. At Jeremy's worst (when he does Coly): 5 mL (2 mucomyst, 2.5 atrovent, 0.5 albuterol) 5 mL 5% NaCl ~4 mL Coly+water mixture. Usually it's...

    Question About New Posts???

    I noticed sometimes if my viewable window was too narrow (either because I made it a narrower size, or had the favorites sidebar up), and I had the navigation bar visible, I would get the white space. I either hide the nav bar when I'm just reading posts, or I widen the window.

    If you are NOT working I have a question for ya

    Did you go to school? If you did, a good reply might be, I was in school and haven't needed a paying job until now. Otherwise, I've done volunteer work.

    ok I don't want to start anything here...read if you like

    Not selfish. If anything, you have a better perspective on "Life is short, cherish everyone close to you" than other parents would. Children do lose parents - cancer, car accidents, etc. Isn't it better to have had two parents that loved you?
