Emm, I hope you check back here. Thanks so much for your reply in the Portable Nebs topic. I wonder how a CF'er manages college life. My daughter has been pretty healthy this year. Thank goodness as the last two years have been awful. She was sick and on IV antibiotics every three months it seemed. Her freshman year in HS was rough the second semester and she missed about a months worth of school by the time she finished her sophomore year but this last year has been a good one. Knock on wood, she's been off IV antibiotics for just short of a year now. I mentioned it this AM and she said, "thanks for the jinx Mom". She's working hard and thinking about college. As I mentioned before she'd like to go to college overseas, England to be exact. I'd settle for Arizona or CA. She does like the warmer areas. Yea, not gonna get that in England that's for sure. Right now we live in Nebraska but we are military and will be moving to Texas next year after she graduates. She does good, but I worry that she will get lax and not do her treatments right or her percussion. She doesn't tell many about her CF. Part of that I guess is our mobility, it's hard to get close in such a short time. She does want to live in a dorm and knows that she can request a private room with a private bath. I guess I worry if she will eat right, she's a picky eater. I don't know if all CF kids are picky or just mine. She doesn't eat fast food at all. Except Chic-fil-a, which they happen not to have here in NE. I know we have to let go and let her fly on her own, it's just a hard thing to do. We have managed this year to let go of her treatments. We only tell her about once maybe twice a week. But... her AM treatments are still done by her dad at 6AM. weekdays only though. He says next year he's gonna make her get up and do them herself. She says college will be easier because she won't schedule any early classes. I'm with her there, I didn't when I was in school. I never had a class before 9 or 10 am. We know let her go to clinic by herself and they just give us a call and let us know how it went, in case she leaves anything out that she didn't think was important. I'm glad to hear that your school has been so helpful, or willing to be helpful if you need it. What school do you go to? How is college life? Do you do more than one treatment a day? My daughter does an antibiotic neb with albuterol in the AM and PM plus her Pulmozyme in the PM. Do you lead a "normal" college life? How do you do PT? My daughter doesn't like the vest, although she has only tried it once while in the hospital back when she was a freshman. Do you have a job as well or just go to school? Well I can't think of anymore questions. Thanks for letting me ask.If there is anyone else out there than can give me some insite as to how your first year in college was and what we should/can expect I would greatly appreciate it. Anything that you wish your parents had done. Or parents, how you survived letting go. Liza
