For all the people here. I'm learning alot, and actually learned something I could pass along that might help someone else my sister knows with a cf baby. She (the mom) has had symptoms of cf (mild tummy problems and lung problems, from what I could gather) and now has a child with cf. I told my sister what I had read here, and that she might want to check with her doctor to see if she has it too, just in case, so that if she does (please be praying that she doesn't), she can go ahead and begin getting the treatment she needs. I'll also be sending my sister a link to here to pass along.
I also realized that I jumped right in here without a proper introduction<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif" border="0">, So here goes:
My name is Andee, and I am 36 years old, married for 14 years (15 in May), with a 3 year old daughter, and an artist. I had mild cf until I was a teen, and went into the hospital to get my gallbladder out, and caught pneumonia (joy). Right now my functions are around 66%, which is actually up 9% from 3 months ago. I just started hypertonic saline a little over a week ago, and am hoping for good things with it.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">.
