DS, 15 years old, 6'1" 142 lbs up from 122 a year ago

Hi--We have always known there is another teen at DS's school with CF. DS is the atypical kind (late dx; more effects on pancreas than lungs) and the other child has classic, dx at birth CF. DS is a year older and they have no classes together and rarely bump into each other. However, they...

Hi--Another pretty simple question about hospital stays.... Pre-op called yesterday and said to pack a bag. So--as I am figuring out what all needs to be packed, I am assuming all his meds (including zenpep) would be provided by the hospital. True? Adam was also asking if he would have his...

Well, I just need a bit of a vent. DS is so overwhelmingly fatigued. He has only been to one day of school since last Wed. It takes a toll on him because he is such a school-lover. He is in his 10th day of cipro and seems to be getting worse in terms of the fatigue although he is finally...

Hi-- Just trying to figure out the logistics if DS is admitted next week after his bronchoscopy since this will be his first hospitalization for IVs. I will need to stay in Baltimore with him--we are about 1.5 hours from Hopkins. Parents--do you stay in hotels, kid's rooms, or where? Is it...

Thanks everyone.

WE are, for the first time, facing the possibility of IV meds next month after a bronchoscopy. When on home IVs, with a three times a day dose, can kids go to school? DS is in 10th grade--not sure what to expect if he needs to do the whole IV thing?
