    How Can I explain upcoming PICC line and surgery to my 3 year old?

Abby literally thought that surgery was going in and doing a weird breathing treatment that made her go to sleep with...

    post surgery congestion

    Our ENT has found that giving Abby Prednisone before and after is the way to go for her. It makes the bleeding less during surgery and keeps the swelling down afterwards. Ask your ENT about trying that. It has done wonders for Abby!! Good Luck!!

    Bounce House

    Parents of tweens or CF adults, input

    I think your plan of action sounds great! She can be pissed about CF but she should always treat other the way she would want to be treated. Nip it in the bud mom! Too often I have heard parents letting their kids get away with being rude and chalking it up to CF....they are still kids that...

    Fev1 question

    My daughters dr's like her to be at her baseline and if it drops any at all they are watching her and if were to drop that much they would either admit her for a tune up or figure out the problem. There has to be a reason for the drop. I would question the dr harder.
