    ymikhale - No, we haven't tried coconut oil yet. I've heard some people mention it, but I haven't picked it up yet. Is it available at a regular grocery store? And I know I will sound like a complete idiot but...what exactly do you do with the oil? I hope we get the same results as you did...

    stay at home or work?

    Yes, it does get easier! You will find a routine and schedule that work for you. Some days will be a breeze and others days will be very depressing. But, you will get through it! I am a stay-at-home mom. It's funny when people ask me that because I never even consider it. To me, I am...

    Treewife - Thanks for the reply! I try to feed him whatever he will eat, which isn't much. His "likes" are always changing! He will usually eat cheese, which is good. Lately he has been eating cut-up bologna. He likes hot dogs, but he has this habit of chewing the food and then not...

    Whether to get a feeding tube or not?

    We have an 18 month old foster son (soon to be adopted!) with CF. He is not gaining the weight he needs to catch-up to the growth curve. He is just below the 3rd percentile curve. We have had him for 11 months and he has had only one cold, so he is doing well health-wise. He has trouble with...

    Does this happen to anyone else?

    I feel exactly the same way! What I've found that helps is bringing someone with you. My husband is my first choice, but most often he can't get off of work. Next best is my mom. She is able to keep Dylan feed, occupied, and clean while I can listen and converse with the doctors.
