    Late diagnosis for Pre-Teen

    That is a lot of a preteen to take in. It sounds like he is depressed. I would maybe hook him up on the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation page, I think they have a link for teens there. I would also find other avenues for him to express his fears and concerns, maybe therapy. He most likely is afraid...

    Medicare & CFRD

    Thanks for your reply... I hate Medicaid except for the cost of it. They deny just about everything that my doctor orders, or prescribes the first time around. It took several months to get approval of xopenex for me, they insisted on albuteral in spite of my tachy heart rate. They refused to...

    How do you handle seeing somebody on supplimental oxygen?

    I don't blame you one bit, better to ruffle feathers then to expose your child. That being said, I am currently on oxygen and I feel so stupid being out in public with it, so much so, that sometimes I don't wear it. I don't think you could have done anything different. Since your kids don't...
