OK, so I was excited that the foundation has a new brochure out to educate school administrators. I thought that would be great as we get close to Great Strides and get our daughter's school involved. What a great tool to have in educating participants. So someone please tell me why the CF Foundation always finds it necessary to include graphic details about our digestive problems with words like "bulky foul smelling stools" and "increased flatulence". I am sorry, but I don't want the women in the PTO particulary informed about my bowel problems!! If I were a young child, I would be mortified to read a brochure like that being passed around among teachers and administrators and possible older kids. They can use a generic description for public awareness. It is bad enough having to discuss the "color" and "size" of our BM's and whether they float or not at every CF clinic. I certainly don't want to have attention drawn to it for all my friends and neighbors to enjoy! OK I am done ranting about bulky foul smelling stool syndrome BFS. Thanks for listening!

I'm totally with you on this one! BFS indeed! And to think I did pass that stupid brochure around to my kid's teachers. Oh well, at her age I guess it is not that big a deal. It is all about the potty for many 4 year olds. But you did give me second thoughts on how to handle it as she gets older. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">

Ha Ha, this reminds me of when Josh was in 5th grade. Every year I write a letter to the boys' classes telling them about CF and inviting them to GREAT STRIDES. I asked Josh if he wanted to preview it before I printed it. He said "its ok except for one word... do you really need to talk about MUCUS?"
I had included an excerpt from the CFF description but I guess it was a little graphic for a 11 year old.
From that time on I always say "for more information on CF, please go to wwwcff.org"<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Sorta off topic, but we were trying to think of ideas for designs for T-shirts for Great Strides and someone mentioned an infomercial they saw for "Colon Blow" Anyway, DH ended up getting a birthday gift from this person -- It's a baseball cap that says Colon Blow on the front and embroidered on the back is "poopin is cool"
We're weird -- we're big on the potty talk/potty humor in our house and amongst our group of friends/relatives <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
