    Tracheotomy and Malacia

    Three weeks later and after heavy "trach" training and ventilator training, our son is adjusting fairly good to life with a trach. Our hospital tells us that they have "never" had a CF baby with a trach before so it is a first for the staff there, as well as us. And it complicates things a...

    Frightened and sad...

    Our son is currently hospitalized with complications from CF, meconium ileus, and tracheomalacia. He just turned 11 weeks old last week. The "whole bowel" issue was scary, but his breathing issues far outweigh that. Read all you can, ask all. You can, and make sure your hospital is an...

But the neb (orsaline container) did make a difference as she did receive more meds quicker with certain containers. The taste and nose irritation...

    Sweat Test result :(

    <P>We felt the same helplessness after we were told our daughter (age 9days) had failed the so called "sweat" test. It seemed to me like a very silly test to find such a serious major illness? But the results were correct and be thankful you will be able to learn and manage this disease from an...
