    Sinus surgery

    I believe that there are risks, just like with ANY surgery, but the risks are rare. Bleeds, infection, and when someone's picking around in your sinuses with a sharp object, your eyes and brain are at risk (I know that sounds scary!!). I've studied up on it and have never heard of that being...

    MRSA

    My daughter cultured it when she was 2 years old. She went between IV Vancomycin, Linezolid, and then Vanco via inhalation. By the time she was 4, she had stopped culturing it at all. We did the eradication techniques, as well, a few times. For her, it worked but it took some time. She is 7, now...

    What is the best way for a non-CFer to react to you and/or CF?

    I remember when I had my little girl at the ped's office for a one month check-up. She was hungry and we had been waiting forever. I got her enzymes out, put them into her applesauce, and proceeded to feed them to her before I gave her a bottle. A woman sitting next to me told me (after she had...

It's a bit basic, but basic is the best place to start! http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/tutorials/cysticfibrosis/htm/_no_50_no_0.htm CF is confusing and there's a LOT that is still unknown about it. I've been "exposing" myself to CF info...

    Socially Acceptable Ways to Pass Gas!

    Poor guy! I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I read your post, though! My cousin did that when he was in school just to avoid the embarrassment (he had a LOT of pancreatic issues) and we were grossed out, but laughed and kinda respected his fearlessness. My daughter on the other hand gets...

    Boiling nebs?

    JennyC, vinegar is an acid and is thought to help disinfect the neb's while boiling. It's also a great cleaning product because the acid breaks up mineral particles and grimy yuck (usually from soaps or preservatives) on various surfaces. My kid's doc said that "evidence-based practice proved...

    Sinus surgery?

    My 6 y.o. just had her first sinus surgery last week. She had been having issues with polyps for almost a year and it was getting to the point that she couldn't breathe out of her her nose at all. She also had junky lungs, so her pulm. decided to do a bronch and insert a PIC for antibiotics and...
