    OK, I NEED SOME SERIOUS ADVICE......

    It's best to leave it at that... The best book I can recommend is "Choosing God's Best" or perhaps "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" this one is written by Josh Harris, he also wrote "When Boy meets Girl". Very good books. I got divorced over 2 years ago and thought "well now i'll go out and date...

    hello

    Karen, I'm glad they were able to diagnose your son before he got much older... if he is anything like other CF patients diagnosed a little later, he probably had many smaller problems or got sick often and they finally put it together to test for CF. My youngest son, Billy, has cf, diagnosed...

    Not enough sweat.

    Tammi, Are they using the gauze discs to collect the sweat or the little plastic disc with the tubing inside? The gauze discs will collect the smallest of samples where the other one needs much more sweat in order for it to travel up the tubing... both use the chloride solution to stimulate...

    What to take to the hospital for 19 month old?

    I would suggest you take her enzymes, and vitamins... depending on the nurses and whether your daughter will be in a CF section (they may not know or understand the enzymes) and a list of all the meds she does take with doses. Take her toys (you really do not want her to play with the toys...

    Question about cultures

    We are always given a cup and told if he can cough something up then put it in the refrigerator and bring it the next day or so. I agree with doing the sinus rinse at the office... Also just a thought, but perhaps it is time for IV antibiotics to get rid of the infection or longer use of the...

    Lyssa, I have to agree with others... if your older son is being treated for acute asthma, it would be best to have him tested for CF. I have a friend whose son went 12 years being treated for asthma when he actually has CF and he was very sick by the time they finally diagnosed him. It could...
