We actually chose not to have any bio kids, period. Adoption was the right choice for us. Every family is different, but you might want to consider it. Keep in mind too, that if you have second kid (bio OR adopted), they may not have CF but they could have something equally devastating or...

bobanny, that is so true. I cant imagine loving my kids any more! Looks like you adopted transracially, as did we. Our eldest is Azeri (think persian/turkish) and our youngest hispanic. We definitely found adoption to be the perfect way for us to grow our family and we were doubly blessed...

DD508 here. 40 years old, FEV around 60-65%, was down to about 45% in 2010. Diganosed at 3 months. I wont bore you with the laundry list of medical annoyances. Important thing is I feel pretty good in the NOW.

Nicki, we have adopted twice, first internationally, second domestically. International has become much more restrictive lately towards parental health. I would think domestic would be the way to go, unless you are interested in adopting special needs. First you need to find a doc and an...

Maybe you're dislodging a bloody mucous plug from your cervix? I've had those a few times when I havent been pregnant. Any correlation with recent sexual activity?

yup. Used to give me seizures until we figured it all out. Once I changed my diet, no more hyper or hypo.

umm, she is ten right? not an adult? I would very sweetly explain to her that she has no choice int he matter. End of discussion. And yes, my daughter is ten, I know how ten can be, and my eldest is about as stuborn as they come (just like her mom!) When it comes to her health, I would be...

Incomudrox- are you talking muscle spasms/cramping? I had a lot of that prior to breaking ribs, each and every time. From the vest and from coughing. (I eventually clued in and stopped using the vest, couldnt stop the coughing though!) Does stretching out all the intercostals help you at...

I gained about 20 lbs...ack! Now I have to be very very careful what I eat (I lost the extra weight through very heavy exercise and diet) or I'll put it right back on in a second.

First question- does your daughter actually have a response to allergens at this house? Coughing, asthma, or does she get ill after a visit? If this is the case, something really needs to be said. If there is no discernable reaction from her, but you just get the willies, if might be a...
