Hi! This is my first ever post--I'm happymom, and my daughter, Joy, age 12, just finished a tune-up in the hospital that lasted a month! I'm always interested in natural remedies, but find that it takes so much time just to do the "unnatural" stuff (creon 20, xopanex, pulmozyme, Tobi etc.)that I don't have much energy leftover to research other things. That changed, though, during this hospitalization--I'm hungry to find out what I can do to help Joy become healthier, using more natural things that don't compromise "traditional" therpaies. In the hospital, among other things, Joy was given I.V. colistin and nebulized colistin (not sure of the spelling). The doc sent us home with a prescription for nebbed colistin--but I couldn't get the whole batch because of the co-pay cost.
I'm feeling a bit down (so much for being called "happymom"!), and could use some encouragement. Looks like I'll be spending the day tomorrow fighting the insurance company and looking for copay relief!
And, I'm still VERY interested in anything natural other moms have found...we give Joy 1,000 mg. of vitamin C once or twice dailly, plus extra vitamin D (as prescribed by nutritionist, almost 1,000 mg!), and Reuteri (natural enzymes to help stomach issues).
Thanks!
