    Back into the hospital tonight

    Update Sun mid-day. Just got word that it looks like the cold he first showed signs of <24hrs ago has put him into another liver crisis. They are preparing to transfer to our primary hospital so he can be under the care of the liver program.

    Back into the hospital tonight

    exactly a month since last discharge and only 12 days since stopping IV's and Micah is back inpatient as of an hour ago. Looks like ammonia levels are climbing again (not as bad as last time, but higher than when we got out). REALLY tired of CF at the moment!

    Rough few weeks

    Well, I figured it was time to post an update after several very long weeks and some changes in our plans as a family. In mid-Jan Micah was hospitalized for severe liver complications related to CF. We spent 3 days in the PICU, and then a week in the hospital. There were several scary points...

    girls onlyy please!!

    (not a girl but here is a clinical answer) In order for sperm to succesfully enter the uterus and lead to pregnancy the cervical mucus (CM) must be a certain composition and consistency. Over the course of your normal cycle this changes, and normally around ovulation will be 'optimal' for...

    tiny arms

    You may not be able to fully get 'proportional' as you are hoping. But yes, you are correct that the only way you would build your arms/legs would be exercise to build the muscles.j We don't store noticeable amounts of fat in our limbs so the size is defined by bone & muscle. I will clarify...

    Implications of bodybuilding and Pseudomonas!

    I think this is a very plausible connection. It would take some evaluation to confirm the link but it makes sense. Another thing to consider is our neighbors in Canada have shown that overall CF health is strongly tied to weight. As bodybuilders by virtue work to maintain & build body mass...

    30 weeks Pregnant

    While there are no guarantees, Amp B has been shown safe in pregnant animal studies (not human) and the FDA says it can be safety given to pregnant women. Itranonazole, however, should only be used it absolutely necessary. In animal studies it DID cause complications so I would avoid it...

    Seeking Advice/Input

    For those of you that commented on this thread.... The original poster has not been back to our site since this thread went from a honest question, to a heated emotional debate. Obviously, I think it could be argued that we probably failed to help the OP other than to confirm that there is no...
