Melissa planned the service and it was beautiful, just like our Mel. There was a time for those in attendance to share stories and memories of Melissa. I so wanted to say something. Every time I would slow my tears and catch my breath enough that I thought I could say something, another person...

Mel and I were both born and raised in Sullivan County. I do not live in the area anymore but all of my family does. I plan to travel downstate to attend. I wll check the local paper but I figure someone here may know the details sooner. Thank you!

I got my 4th PICC ever in on Friday. You would think I would remember this but how often do you get a dressing change? I know if it gets wet it needs to be changed. I was thinking it needed to be done 48 hours after insertion but I have not heard from home health about them coming out. Hmmm...

I know I am going to get many different responses. I know this question has been asked but I have been reading old posts over and over, I just feel the need for my own new post with your up to date info. If you use a Trio/EFlow, what meds do you do in it? If you do more than one med are you...

I received my Trio last month but just started using it for Tobramycin. Oh my! I am in love. I still have to get comfy with the cleaning and I will probably start using it for my HS and Pulmozyme. I just cannot believe how fast it was to take the Tobramycin. I almost feel like I did not take the...

I have always been thin but able to maintain a healthy weight. I was recently sick and lost a bit of weight that I really want to gain back. I have been tracking my calorie intake and now know I need to eat more. Before getting sick I never kept track of my calories and just ate as I wanted.

I am going to talk to my CF center Monday morning. I guess I am trying to prep myself for the possibilty that they say it would be in our best interest to cancel our vacation. We have our plane tickets and room booked for mid May for Walt Dinsey World Flordia. As you will see in my siggie, I...

Since having my second daughter and a return of regular periods I have been having a lot of lung troubles about a week before my period is to start. The lung troubles have been enough that I need at least oral abx. Twice I decided to bite the bullet and get a PICC. With two small children I feel...

I actually feel really good except this freaking crummy cough 1st thing when I wake up in the morning and then at night right before it is time for me to do my nebs. I guess I probably never updated a few months ago when I was to get my 1st PICC. I went in and they tried twice to get it in. I...

I started Cipro on Wednesday. I am feeling better, more energy and less cough but it is not happening as fast as usual which is to be expected with my situation but I am feeling it will be best to just get the darn IV placed and kick this rather than mess around any more. I have been IV free for...

I will be 6 weeks post partum on Wednesday. Prior to getting pg w. Hannah my baseline was 80%. Right before getting pg I had an all time best for my time at this clinic (7 years) of 87%. This prompted us to get pg with Hannah. While pg, my PFTs slowly went down just like they did with Alexa. I...

First a quick update - life with two is crazy but perfect at the same time. Alexa is a great big sister and Hannah is a sweet little baby. We are all adjusting to each other and our new routines, one day at a time. All of us have our moments but nothing unexpected being that everything has...

Regular contraction started around 7:00 a.m. on Wednesday. At 11:00 a.m. I called my OB and told her the contractions started at 7:00 a.m., 6-7 minutes apart and about 40 seconds long. She had me come right in rather than wait for my 1:00 appointment. We got to the office at 12:00 and I was 4...

I am so done. I have no idea how I am going to make it 2 more weeks. I see my OB tomorrow and I really hope she will at least give me a date we will not go past because I need something to help me get through. This is so bad but the other day I was walking into Target and slipped on some ice. I...

I am 35.5 weeks pg so I have made it a full week further into this pregnancy than Alexa's pregnancy! Boy, what a difference one week and a second pregnancy makes! I am TIRED and my body hurts all over. I do not remember being this worn out at 34 weeks while pg with Alexa. When I feel good, I...

I have really debated posting this. I will probably try to figure out how to get the post deleted sometime in the near future but right now I need to get this out to people that really understand. One of my sisters friends just had a baby that was DX with CF. Sis asked if she could pass my...

The past few mornings my fasting blood sugar has been 92. This morning I started to worry that maybe my numbers are creeping up. That caused me to start stressing and thinking I am just going to ask my OB for meds so I can eat whatever the heck I want. I feel like I have to eat the same safe...

How much did your child weigh at birth? How many weeks pg were you when you gave birth? How were your blood sugar numbers during the pregnancy? How much weight did you gain during the pregnancy? Most days I am really careful about what I eat but at the same time I wonder how CF and the lack of...

If you had diabetes while pg where you still able to gain weight and if so how much? I have naturally been drawn to read message boards and such with women who have GD but no CF and I freak out when I hear people say they lost weight after finding out they had GD. I am doing my best to eat high...

<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif" border="0"> I am waiting for a call back to set up an appointment for diabetes testing class. Of course my CF dr is not in the office today so I cannot seem to get in touch with him for his input. My numbers were: 94 240 265 137
