    Sterilizing nebs while travelling

    My son is nebulizing saline solution and we are going to Disney for a week. At home I boil his nebs for 10 minutes but I'm not sure what to do while travelling. How do you sterilize your nebs? Especially when travelling?

    When do you call the clinic?

    Since my clinic is out of town, I call the ped when we need antibiotics. I have noticed that the cf doc usually prescribes antibiotics for 3 weeks and my ped for only a week. You could ask the clinic about the course of treatment and if they would make any adjustments.

    snacks for pre-school

    It is so frustrating when enzymes matter so much and are harmless to another child. This is the battles that just make you want to knock some heads. Some of the things I give my son without enzymes are raisins, dried apricots, rice crackers and mini marshmallows. I believe he likes the...

    Going to the Zoo. Is it a bad idea??

    My best advice is to do everything just the same for you child with cf as though he didn't have cf. Well, except treatments obviously and add lots of hand washing.
