Hi everyone-my name is Marci and I have been lurking for a few weeks. I am 31 (32 next month!) and have CF. I wasn't diagnosed until I was 20 years old. I have recently started the vest and pulmozyme (thanks to Alyssa on here!)....and will start hypertonic saline in June.
My case is fairly mild, I am on meds (usually Keflex) about 4-6 times a year for staff infections, I have cultured PA twice, both times when I was pregnant. I have 2 children, a 4 year old and a 2 year old. My pregnancies with both were so different. With the first, I had to be put on a PICC line the last 2 months of my pregnancy to gain weight (normally not a problem for me). My second was a pretty routine pregnancy.
We live in Eastern Washington State in a beautiful area- we really love it. We just moved here last year and are finding that it will be a great place to raise kids grow old <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
I have enjoyed reading everything on this site and have already gotten alot of information from all of you about meds, etc.
Anyways, just wanted to introduce myself and say hi!

Thanks for the welcome, everyone. I was on TPN through a PICC line (hooked to the IV pole for 12 hours a night) and it fed me basically a bag of calories. It worked, and I gained 20 lbs in the last 2 months!
