    Question about Tune ups

    My first tune up was when I had a drop in FEV1 from an infection. Are her cultures showing an increase in bacteria? But I was about 12 when I had my first tune up. But that wasn't the norm for the CFers in my clinic. Most of the people in house were surprised that I hadn't been in before...

    Got my G-tube!

    For the leaking, I place a sponge/gauze around it. It catches all of the "ick", but make sure you change the gauze regularly. Even if it's not leaking at the time, I would change it at least every 12 hours. My surgeon also suggested using corn starch around the site to help keep it dry. Kind...

    Double Lumen Port

    I actually just had a double lumen placed! I only access one at a time and use it as a single lumen, but I guess you could access and draw labs from the other. I still have good peripheral veins (go figure) so blood draws are typically not a problem. My transplant center was actually excited...

    I hate to even ask this...

    I am an organ donor (how could I ask for someone elses when I won't share mine.... My opinion though) but I know a lot of people who aren't. My mom, for instance, isn't a donor. She may change it soon... but it's just something that never "spoke" to her until she was directly affected. A...
