I WOULD! I think this is the MOST important time to work out so the crud doesnt settle in your lungs. That being said, its also critical that you dont tire yourself out too much and get lots of sleep. If you feel up to it, I'd do it!! I've been fighting a nasty cold too. Took a nap then...

Until I was 36 years old, I never put a foot in a CF center. Too scared of picking up a bug. Then I heard that they were taking MUCH better precautions regarding this issue, and started going to a center. (I also wanted an established relationship with some place should I need a transplant)...

Justinsmom, what's his FEV and general body condition? Unless he is in poor shape, this seems a bit extreme. My guess is that the pneumonia was never fully cleared up. I would also take extra precautions that he is not picking stuff up at the doctors.... Sadly, I have had winters where...

Iamqueen, your lung function is in the low 30's and you can run a 5K in under 26 minutes?

My doc gets a 5, as does his whole team. If they didnt, I would go elsewhere.

When I was a kid (and now too as a treat) the best thing ever was tunafish and cottage cheese mashed together (and salted!) on rice cakes. You got your protein, fat, dairy, salt (which IS a food group unto itself!), and whole grain. It looks like something the cat urped up, but damn its good!

TammieG, The scary thing to me about your situation is that lung damage can occur without you or your child being aware of it. When I was a kid, my FEV could drop 20% and it was hard to tell on a daily basis. The same goes with people who have asthma...a mom was just telling me a few days...

OK, you know a calorie deficit may be challenging for you body. So be smart about it. Catalog what you eat, when, how much. Count calories. Find out what you are actually eating. Then, try decreasing it by 5-10%. If you get sick, increase it back to normal. If you always get sick when...

I would have a chat with the coach, make sure she is aware of the issues. You both need to have constant communication about any illness on either DD's or the coaches. Cancellation policies sholdnt apply here, and if the coach is ill, another coach should be found to stand in. I think a...

Oh please. Its that kind of overprotective BS from the medical profession that put kids in an early grave. Many docs told my parents I shouldnt exercise. Hogwash. They got a second opinion and found a doc who said if I didnt get out and run around, they should chase me out of the house! So...
