Hey Tiff, Don't let 'em get you down. You go ahead and eat, girl! After all, it's one of the bonuses of having CF; you can eat whenever and whatever you want. They're just jealous!

I've been wondering about Andrew too. I hope he's doing well.

65rosessamurai, I sent you a PM.

Very cool. I'm an engineer in the automotive industry and have done quite a bit of modelling myself although most of my experience is with 2D. Keep up the good work!

Welcome Austin! I'm glad you decided to join. You'll get tons of information and support here. I like your sig. Where'd you get the V8?

We were told by our attorney not to have any money associated with Sean's SS number. We found a couple of investments that didn't require his SS# so we've used those. For accounts that require SS#'s we've only set up one account for my older son and saved for both boys under that account. As...

They don't usually do PFT's on the younger set. I believe they didn't start taking data on Sean until he was 7. The test is too complicated for young ones and means little.

Hey everyone, I was just visiting Allan's site and saw a post from Jess' mom. <a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.save-allan.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=165">Alllan's site</a> I think she raises a great point! We should all get involved and help keep Allan's fight...

Since Allan wasn't a huge fan of the CFF, I think the next best bet would be the Boomer Esiason Foundation. I've had the oportunity to meet him and see some of the great work he's done. He and the foundation are very generous. He came to speak at our clinic's CF Family night. At the meeting...

Jess, I can only imagine the pain you are going through right now. I wish I could tell you that losing someone so loved gets easier over time but it doesn't. It changes but I don't think it ever gets easier. There will always be days you long for his touch, his laugh, his wisdom, etc... Some...

Jess, my heart is breking for you. Know that we all are all thinking of you and if you need anything, this is the place for you. I'm soooooooooo sorry. Allan will be missed not only by you and his family but by his CF family. Peace be with you and Allan.

You've got to be kidding me!!! Someone comes on here to get some support and advice and you respond with an ad for some health tonic!!! Please! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif" border="0">

We try not to make food a big issue but facts are that CFers need more calories. That said, I do try to make something I know Sean will enjoy but you can only have chicken nuggets, pizza, and mac 'n cheese so often. Our dietician told us that it takes 7 times of trying a new food before you...

<blockquote>Quote<br><hr>That is what is wrong with society today. Many people want to make other people responsible for the actions of their children, IT STARTS IN THE HOME PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!! <hr></blockquote> Kudos to Julie for making that statement. You hit the nail on the head!!!

I blame their mothers! In my case, when my husband was young, his mom made him do everything in hopes that someday he would get married and be the perfect husband. Problem was, while she was teaching him to clean up, she was waiting hand and foot on her husband. So, how do you think her son...

65rosessamurai, Both my boys play hockey. I've gotten on the ice with them a couple of times and can still keep up with the nine year old set but give it another year or two and their hockey skills will surpass mine. I can no longer keep up with my 11 year old. He plays "up" with the...

Terminating a pregnancy is certainly a difficult choice. Although not something I would consider for CF, I may consider it for other issues. Everyone is different. I wouldn't trade my CFer for the world however, my husband and I made a conscious choice not to have any more of our own children...

Well, aside from a list of all her meds and med schedule, don't forget the good stuff... Stuffed animal PJ's Slippers Books Videos Toys Whatever you can bring to help her feel as comfortable as possible.

Hi Katrina, Sean would love a CF pen pal. Feel free to have Nicolas e-mail him at Deker96@comcast.net. Like you, I've been hesitant to post anything in the "young people" area. We look forward to hearing from you.

We had two dogs and a cat when Sean was diagnosed and our CF Dr. said that although she wouldn't recommend getting either for a CFer, she recognized how important they are to the family and wouldn't advise us to get rid of them. She did ask us though to make sure we kept the pets out of Sean's...
