Moms w/Cf- Coping with Tuneups

I don't want to exclude anyone-this applies to dads too, grandmas, or any patients that have insight here!

Right now I feel kinda like supermom. (or maybe its crazymom?-?)
I got my Picc hanging here, balancing my eclipse ball and baby bottle.

I'm not 'sick' for this tuneup. My pfts have been plateauing and I'm determined to get them back up to my pre-pregnancy days. I decided to do it at home this time.

Last summer I lived on Ivs and spent weeks in the hospital. It was the worst summer ever, for everyone. We have trips planned this summer, and fun things with the baby, so I want to be preventative. I never want to be sick in the summer ever again!

My theory is this:Why wait till the end of summer when I crash from the activity, to have my pfts in the 50s and have to work to get them back up to the 60s...when I can do this now and maybe get them back to my old baseline of 75%?
What do you think?

My cat scans are great-they show no difference in my lungs compared to pre-pregnancy-except they are actually improved. Probably because I am even more compliant now.

So 'theoretically' there is no reason I shouldn't be able to get my pfts back up there.

This week I am starting an exercise routine-pilates 3x a week, weight training 2x a week and 30 min aerobic every other day. I'm going to do it while my daughter naps-that gives me 2 hrs to workout.

I used to belong to a gym, but after paying the sitter and gym membership, it was better to set up a home gym. I like the idea of having mommy time alone to workout, but its not practical for me to go to the gym.

What do you guys do on the workout end?

You know, my clinic stresses regular exercise routines. The other day my nurse practically banged the table saying that they always tell the patients exercise makes the difference in pfts...but it falls on deaf ears. Patients are just bogged down as it is I guess. The doctor basically begged me to start and commit to it.

Sigh, so I'm trying. I think its a mental thing. It has to be penciled in to the calendar-Maybe if I started thinking about it the way I think about chest pt, that I'd never ever miss a day-then I could stick with it.

Balancing all this is tiring me. Some days I am on the verge of thinking I have it all together, or on the verge of breaking into tears.

I'm a very scheduled person. I pencil in everything. I make lists. I guess I'm just tired and a little discouraged right now.

I hate this IV.
I hate how these meds make me feel and look.
I just want to rip it out and go outside in the field and run with my little girl.

I'm also starting a daily juicing program. I'm on gsh and thinking about beginning nac again and mucolyxir-(but the dna base creeps me out)

How do you moms balance it all?
And when its tuneup time-what tricks are up your sleeve to get through it?

What do your kids do while you are doing chest pt?

Its also hard to change her diapers bc my line is there, and she kicks it!-I'm worried it will get snagged. I need some kind of cover for it.

It is hard being CF super Mama!

I really notice a huge difference when I exercise. I feel so much better all around. I have been trying really hard to get out for a walk with Hannah while Alexa is at preschool. If I cannot get out during that time period I will go out when my DH gets home from work. Most days I have to force myself to go because often times I would like to nap or at least just sit and veg. Hannah still wakes once a night to eat so I am still a touch sleep deprived.

I have "only" done IV's twice since becoming a Mommy. Both times I was of Ceftaz push 3x's a day and Tobra drip once a day. I set my med schedule so there were no crazy middle of the night meds. I did the 1 hour Tobra drip at 8:00 p.m. when the girls were in bed. I did the Ceftaz push at 6:00 a.m., 2:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.

As for covering the PICC area. Most days I wore a tank top and a zip up style hoodie sweat shirt. This worked well to cover the area when not in use but easy to access when I needed meds. You can cut the toe area off a sock and use the long area that would go over your calf as a PICC cover. Thanks to all things 1980's being popular again, leg warmers also work well to cover the PICC site.

Good luck Mama. I hope the IV's do the trick and you are feeling good all summer and beyond!

I've never done IVs/tune ups so I have no advice for you there. My 18 month old and I have a routine for treatment time. It starts in the livingroom. I turn Sesame Street or a potty learning DVD on and neb my albuterol while she has her afternoon snack and juice. Then I make sure her training pants are dry and have a waterproof cover and we go to her room to pick out what toys we will take with us for vest time. She plays while I do my vest, I keep the door closed so she can't wander. Treatments got a lot easier after 15 months.

Exercise is a big challenge since DD is a light sleeper. The only thing I can do is quiet stretching on my yoga mat. I jog on my treadmill some mornings before DH goes to work and I take a mommy and me swim class once a week. I've been considering buying a baby monitor and a noise machine so I can close my DD in the bedroom and use the treadmill during nap time.

I of course can't speak from a mother's perspective, but it does sound like you have some hurdles that us single guys don't have to worry about.

I would stress that someway, somehow, you try to stick to some sort of exercise program. It might take getting up earlier or getting to bed later, but it's worth it. I recommitted to exercise 3 weeks ago and I feel a ton better.

Can you maybe purchase one of those jogging strollers?
