Because the CF foundation reccomends quarterly visits, and that's what the clinic here goes by, as a child my mother forced me to go every three months. As I got old enough to drive myself there I started going once a year - and for a while not at all. Now that I have a little boy that I want to stay healthy for I go every six months (though the clininc still schedules me quarterly apppointments that I have to cancel - very annoying, but they have to cover their own butt for accredidation purposes - and I am a hitch in that wheel). My doctor and I have an agreement that he is OK with twice a year so long as when I need to start going more often I will commit to that - hopefully that won't be for a long time!
