    How...?!? This is really overwhelming.

    This is SO overwhelming. Emily is home on IV's for the first time and trying to manage her care, plus 2 other children, plus anything else (hah! everything else is a disaster) just feels impossible. She's on 2 meds that take almost 2hrs to run (total); the first of the day starts at 6 and...

    Home from the hospital and on IV's... a few questions :)

    vx-661

    My hopes are that this corrector will work in a slightly different way than 809, so that those with other mutations will benefit and/or if results vary for different people- if the 770/809 combo doesn't work well, maybe this new one with 770 will or vice versa.

    Home from the hospital and on IV's... a few questions :)

    After a never-ending exacerbation that a month of oral abx (Bactrim and Levaquin) just didn't do anything to help her get over, they had us bring her in on Monday. Her pft's were down a lot... fev1 down 18% vs. before she got sick, etc. She was admitted for IV's and put on tobra and...

    Our Dx changed

    WHAT?! Even telling you cpt won't help tells me how misinformed he is. CPT is routinely prescribed for those with pneumonia and for those on vents, etc.. nothing to do with CF. This really, REALLY concerns me. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0"> I echo others here-...
