Christy, I was so excited to see you post here!! How the heck are you??? How is Casey?? What's been going on in your life??? Take care Seana

Courtney is a typical teenager! She thinks that mom and dad know nothing, and we just talk to make her life miserable. I have been telling her to take her meds everyday. This morning I walk into the kitchen to get her some enzymes for school and BOTH BOTTLES OF ENZYMES ARE STILL SEALED...

I have a pretty bad cold that I got from my nephew while I was in Dallas. My nose and upper lip are SOOO sore from wiping and blowing my nose. What tissues do you normally use? Is there anything out there that is not going to make my face so raw? Thanks for any advice!! Seana

I sent ihatecf a package of enzymes four and a half months ago. The mailman just rang my doorbell and handed me a pretty beat up package. IT WAS THE ENZYMES! It states I had an incomplete address. Anyone hear from ihatecf lately? Does he still need enzymes? I can try to resend them off...

Courtney's PFTs have always been WONDERFUL. Never any major lung issues to date. Yesterday she looked at me and calmy said "mom, I think my lungs are starting to be affected by the CF". Of course it took me back and it took me a few seconds to gather myself and say "why do you think that"...

Do any Cfers have their belly button's pierced and did your CF doc's say there could be any complications? My teenage girls are trying to convince us to let them get their's pierced. Thanks Seana

Well, as I said it is that time of year......FLU SEASON. I had to go pick up Lauren from school today. She has a 102 fever, upset stomach, and a deep cough. I know this subject has been posted a thousand times before, but I would appreciate any advice on how to keep Courtney from catching...

I know many have talked here about having anxiety and depression. I suffer from panic attacks and insomnia. Well, having the insomnia that I do, I kept seeing this program called Attacking Anxiety & Depression program, created by Lucinda Bassett on infomercials late at night. Well, I finally...

I am a complete idiot when it comes to taxes. I get on the computer each year and fill in my information on the EZ tax forms and the computer does all of the work for me. I saw where you were talking to someone about itemizing food and medical costs for CF on the tax forms. I know you are...

As you can see in the picture below, Courtney and Lauren's room is bright pink and neon green. It is time for a change! The girls said they would like a lilac color. I have found some beautiful lilac bedding for them, but now the question is............. what colors go with lilac? I was...

I know alot of CFers battle keeping weight on, but I am the opposite. I am a mom to a CFer that needs to lose weight. I am about 25 pounds over my desired weight. I decided last night that it is time to do something about it!! I do not really overeat, but do not eat the proper things, and DO...

I have no answers! My sweat test was borderline. Right arm was 41, left was 40. SOOOO....now we just wait till the genetic testing comes back. Thanks to all for the support. It's nice knowing people know what I am going through right now. Seana

Today was VERY frustrating! It took me 8 hours and lots of driving around town to find a place to do my sweat and DNA test. I finally found a hospital that will do the tests on Monday. El Paso, TX has no CF center. Courtney travels 800 miles to San Antonio for her clinic. She father is...

As some of you know I have been battling some lung issue for the past 3 years. The past two weeks have been miserable! Can hardly breathe and coughing up stuff constantly. Every since Courtney was diagnosed I have wondered if I too have CF. I had weight issues growing up (people thought I...

Well......I have taken the advice of some of the CFers on this site, and have allowed Courtney to be more responsible for her health. I did not go at the beginning of the school year to talk to her teachers, and told her if she felt they needed to know she needed to discuss it with them (unless...

Well, as the day has passed things have gotten worse. You can now here me breathing across the room. I am constantly wheezing and coughing up a whole lot of crap. My question is......I have an old flutter of Courtney's. Do you think this will help me? The purpose of the flutter is to make...
