I've never seen someone be so belligerent in asking for help,or rather, a FAVOR from people. Oh and if you can't find it, maybe its because you've lost track of your 80,000 threads...

<blockquote>Quote<br><hr>Maybe it's just me but don't you have to go to school where ever the district you live in says you have to go? <hr></blockquote> Yes in general this is the case, but I'm sure they would move someone if there was a legitimate medical reason (ie, a wheelchair bound...

Anyone but Anthony! Go join a boy band buddy <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Have you LOOKED at the website at all? As they say, knowledge is power....

If a cure will only help those with little to no lung damage yet, as a lot of potential cures seem to be, they should also be working on perfecting lung transplant.

No problem Purple. I interpreted it as insulin works good to treat your hypoglycemia and I was like "That doeesn't sound right" but I wasn't sure so I just asked... <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

<blockquote>Quote<br><hr>Whats it like being a mom to a cfer? How do you handle the childs treatments or meds. Does your child act like any normal kid? Can he/she play normally? Does he/she take their treatments/meds well, do you have to fight them? How do you cope? What made you decide to keep...

Get him tested! His symptoms are pretty much a textbook CF case, I'm not trying to upset you, but it sounds fairly possible that he has CF. Also, lick him. A 10 year old boy may not react well to Mom licking him LOL, but does he taste especially salty to you? With his symptoms, a responsible...

Can you clarify-- were you diganosed with CF due to the pancreatitis or was the pancreatitis diagnosed as a complication of your already diagnosed CF?

Isn't insulin for HIGH blood sugar? In hypoglycemia, wouldn't a glucose product be used to raise the sugars (if food isn't doing the job alone)?

I have friends who are about 15 years old and are 95 pounds. Being that weight at your age isn't highly unusual (unless you are really tall or something). Remember that bodies naturally vary.

I have a G Tube (specifically, a bard button), and it isn't highly unusual. If he isn't gaining weight, have they tried switching formulas? enzymes? Have they looked into the diabetes further-- having CFRD can hinder gaining weight since high blood sugar can lead to 'spilling' your calories in...

As a baby, I was on a special formula (Pregestimil) at the reccomendation of doctors. I had a fairly complicated meconium ileus case. They advised using this as opposed to breast feeding.

It's actually called "Another Day" from Rent. 'Seasons of Love' is probably the most famous song from Rent and would work well too.

Just wanted to say welcome, and also it isn't that weird or unusual for a CF patient not to have any other CF in their family. I was the first (as of now, the only) CFer in my family.

I would advise getting the entire family (your son, daughter in law, and little grandson) tested with the Ambry genetics test. It is expensive, but in this case I would hope insurance would cover it. It tests for many mutations (something like 96% of them), and will give you a definitive answer...

Hi, As far as CF being fatal, Julie pretty much summed it up. They call CF fatal because people do DIE of CF and in general die earlier than they would otherwise, but it isn't fatal for children in the way Tay-Sachs disease is- as in, death in toddlerhood or young childhood. One non...

I can taste the saline when they flush it through my line. It's sort of salty tasting.

I think that Whitney Houston song is called "The Greatest Love Of All"
