Thank you...I think they are kinda cute, too <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> Now that I look back on his records, he was in the ER with the throat problems the end of August and when he went back for a checkup 2 weeks later, that?s when he got the flu shot. I...

Hi, I read in another thread where someone was asking a question about family needing flu shots as well as the person with CF. Austin has been getting a flu shot every year for 13 years and none of the doctors ever told me that my daughter and I also needed to get one. He was given a flu...

Dave, Welcome to the forum!

6 little words (And the title of a book we should all read) He's Just Not That Into You! *sigh* Sorry...but take it from someone that's been hurt a ton of times in her life...kick him to the curb.

I must say that I like Mexican food the best. For snacking, I like tortilla chips with cream cheese and salsa. I love Cherry Garcia ice cream.

Oh my...this could take all day! LOL I watch: C.S.I. (Vegas, Miami & Ny), Numbers, Bones, E.R. (From the very beginning!), Veronica Mars (Amazing! Check it out!) Nip/Tuck, Rescue Me, Most Haunted, Supernatural, Monk, Desperate Housewives, MTV (Laguna Beach, Made, Real World), Survivor...

'Alex: The Life Of A Child', is based on sports writer, Frank Deford's, daughter's fight with CF. It was a made for television movie based on the book of the same name. She died in 1980 when she 8 years old. I guess I watched it too soon after my son was diagnosed, because I was even more...

Holly, You sound pretty frustrated and well, I'd rather you be frustrated than not care at all. I'm sure you're hurting and maybe even scared? As a parent of a teenager with CF, I must tell you, sometimes I don't understand it when he slacks with his insulin or after 13 years, sometimes...

Moonshy, What is your family not understanding? Are you not doing the treatments your doctor has asked you to do? Tell me a little about your situation please.

Lucy *hugs* Reading your post rocketed me back to the day I was told that Austin may have CF. When Dr. Busby said he wanted him tested for CF, I had no idea what the disease was. I went home that afternoon and called my mom. I told her what the doctor had said and that the test was the next...

Wow...hi ya Hon! I'm glad you decided to join the forum. I love you too, Austin <img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0"> Ummm...you're not gettin' that car! *giggles*

Melissa, Thanks for helping out and posting some options. Last time we were denied was 4/13/2003 ...wayyyyyy past the grace period for appealing <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0"> I guess we just got frustrated and gave up. But as the disease progresses I have to...

Hello, Our clinics are 3 hours south of us in Sacramento, Californina at the University Of California Davis. We attend a Pulmonary clinic for his CF and an Endocrine Clinic for his diabetes. We go every 3 months. I hate the drive and if I ever win the lottery, I will pay specialists to come...

Karen, I'm wishing you and Logan all the best. I'm new here too, and I have felt nothing but understanding and gotten everything I asked for - Answers to questions and major support! These are good people and I feel blessed to have stumbled across this forum.

Alyssa, Wow...sure does look like we have a lot in common! My email is in my profile...write to me anytime!

Alyssa, I only spoke to the nurse at the clinic. This is all so new to me that I was in shock and didn't ask any questions. All she did was tell me what he had and what they were going to do for it. It's all a blur. I will talk to her again ASAP and ask the question about the mucoid or...

Jennifer, I know you may not want to hear this, but I cried when I read your post. I'm sorry but I just wanted to climb right through the monitor and hold you close to my heart. I was in denial for so long. Now that my son is sick, I can no longer hide my fears. I will admit that the...

Hello everyone *hugs* I need to vent a little bit. I would like to know: 1. If anyone is on S.S.I. 2. If you are on S.S.I., what age were you when you were approved? 3. If you applied for S.S.I. and were denied, how many times have you tried? I'm so frustrated! We applied for S.S.I. when...

Austin is 6 feet tall and weighs 141 pounds. We tease that when he turns sideways, he disappears. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

We were given a prescription once for the Scandi Shakes. It was given to us for trying a certain enzyme. I can't for the life of me remember the name of them but Austin could not use the enzymes. They didn't work for him. From then on we knew that he could only be given Ultrase MT20. Now...
