Alli was on Progestimil. It is hypo-allergenic and pre-digested. And it

tastes horrible. Sorry but I forgot how old Connor is. But Alli was trialed

on other formulas first. 1st breastmilk, 2nd Isomil, 3rd Lactofree, 4th

Nutramigen and then Progestimil. It seemed to help w/ the tummy discomfort.

And maybe a little w/ the congestion. But still to date, we dont know what

causes her congestion. But it is EXPENSIVE!!!!!

Thanks Johanne,

has given me some information about our hospital (we attend the same one)

and it's been so helpful. We're going to fly my husbands Nanna down from

Townsville, Nth Queesnland for a month or so. My parents are living overseas

until the end of the year and 's family are all in Townsville so we were

stuck. At least we've got that problem sorted out. Now I just have to hope

Connor gets better but he was sounding really croaky tonight so I'm planning

for the worst. Hopefully he wont culture anything otherwise we'll probably be in

as well every couple of months.

DEAR Kristy,

I am so very sorry your having this start up now. He is young. BUT, It will

in the long run keep the CF is so less strong position with him. An ounce of

prevention is worth a pound of cure,as they say.........

Maybe grandmom would love to come for the visit...and be a help as well. I

always do with mine. I think whenever possible, most feel that way too.

I am not familiar on how/what, etc. your hospitals do with the

mommies/daddies there. Here they do just kind of blend in and varies ways

accommodate--like big chairs. waiting room sofa's etc. Nothing like the

motel:):). I am sure they take good care of patients in the hospital.

BUT again, I have heard most parents want to be there and around for ANY

decision making........I will be thinking about you & your precious one

......keep us posted on how all is worked out.

LOVE & HUGS, grandmomBEV

Re: kristy

Dear and anyone else,

Connor's clinic visit this morning didn't go to badly but it wasn't as good

as I'd have liked. His lungs were clear but he still had a chest x-ray and

nasal aspirator thingy for a culture. His doctor is a bit concerned because

he's had this cough for two and a half weeks now and he doesn't want Connor

to get any lung damage. And so if he's not significantly better by Thursday

he's going to have to go in for iv's. Not what I wanted to hear. I'm hoping

he's going to improve but as it's only a couple of days away we're starting

to think about what we're going to do with Jayden if we do have to go in. I

definitely dont want him in full time child care for two weeks and

can't take two weeks off work. One option is to fly 's Grandmother down

from Queesnland. Otherwise I dont know what to do????

, tell me everything about when Eilish was admitted at six months. Were

you able to leave during the day or did you stay there the whole time? Did

you get a bed to sleep on? What about her food? Tell me everything! I'm so

worried but more about what to do with Jayden than giving Connor treatment

to make him better.

Hi Kristy, a here from Western Australia. I just wanted to let you know

that Ashleigh has got puesdomonas augernoisa but since Nov 99 has not had a

moist cough or any lung problems. I put her onto a product called Usana they

are a natural brand of vitamins and what is on the bottle is in the

tablet(not like other brands). They are expensive but for us they have been

worth every cent. The web site is www.usana.com if you want to have a look.

Being a distributor I can get you some products if you like. Ashleigh is

having stomach problems at the moment but other than that she is fine.

Hope Connor is ok but like Bev states better in now than letting it grow in

his lungs and doing more damage.

take care and God bless your family

paula mother of ashleigh 7yrs wcf & connor 9yrs wocf

I just wanted to say that when was born she was

in the hospital several times I stayed the whole time

her longest was 1 and a half months I had people bring

me the things I needed I just could not leave her

there by herself and I had seen a few mistakes made

plus if they needed to do new iv lines or blood draws

or anything like that I wanted to be sure and be there

I never let them strap her down just couldnt do that

However she is my only child so it was easy for me to

stay. Maybe there is someone who could alternate with

you I didnt have anyone but no other obligations but

her. Since you have other children you wouldnt want

them being left out Gosh you ya know I've always

wanted more children (badly badly) but never really

thought of this side of it because if there were

hospital stays it would be really tough on the rest of

the kids

HI a,

Tell me more about Usana..... I'll look up the web site when I get more time.

I'm about to start Connor on a herb called crataegus which seems to get at the

cause of many cf problems rather than just fixing them when they occur. Of

course I now have to wait until after the ivs or what ever he's getting or not

getting.

Does your hospital give ivs three monthly after culturing PA or hasn't she

cultured it for a while? That is the one thing I'm dreading, is that Connor will

culture it and then have to go in every three months.

Kristy

[Guest guest]

,

It is going be hard but at least we live just down the road from the hospital so

I can go home at least once a day. I really want to try and retain a sence of

normality for my other son as best I can. Yes, it is hard having another child

to worry about but hopefully when Connor gets older we can do home iv's and

Jayden will be at school then.

Kristy

[Guest guest]

Kristy,

Usana is just vitamins that have no artifical junk in them,

they are all natural and easy for the body to digest. Ash had been in

hospital on and off once they found the PA and then I was put onto them. I

thought I have nothing to lose, and tried her on them. (I also take them and

so does my husband. They have an adult range, teenage range and childrens.

She has their multi-vitamin, vit E, but takes

2 anti-oxidants as well along with Halibut. In summer she has salt tablets

They have not been able to see if she still has PA because basically she has

never been able to been up any mucus. They found it by doing a broncihal

lavage, it was deep in her lungs. Prior to finding it they used to say

everything was fine (at our 3mthly visits).

Now they dont seemed concerned as she hasnt been moist since NOV 99. They

dont automatically put you in every 3mths for Tune-ups, only if your moist.

So as far as I am aware she still has it but it is just laying dormant.

Keep you chin up.

Kristy

[Guest guest]

Kirsty if you send me your address I will send you some

information on them. I was put onto them by the lady who used to take my

meditation classes, she thought they might be something that would interest

me. It is like a multi-level marketing scheme, you get signed up by someone

and then take it from there. I have never tried to do the hard sell on

anyone because I didnt join up to make money I joined up to see if it would

make a difference and it did (even for me I seem to have more energy). I

work part-time at Centrelink so with the added stress of this job and all

the worrying you do about CF I was starting to become run down , now I am

going to the gym, coaching my sons basketball team and feeling great. They

come once a month and with all the products I get cost me about $200 I use

Ashleighs Disability allowance towards the cost.

Good luck tomorrow

Anything without hubby and kids sounds good to me!!

Where does this lady with 7mth live? It would be great to meet up with other cf

kids and parents but of course that's a bit hard.

Connor's back at clinic on the 28th August. Hopefully he wont need his coli

after that and maybe they'll forget about doing a bronch in a few months.

I think she lives in Salisbury. Eilish goes in on the 3rd Sept for her

Kristy,

I used to thing when Eilish would cry like that, what a good workout her

lungs and my ears were getting.Connor must have asthma then to use the

spacer? The quiz night is on Saturday night at Goodwood, but for the actual

address I'll find out from if you like. We went to the drive-in last

night to see Shrek (girls choice). I must have coughed a million times,

cold air and asthma don't mix do they. Eilish on the other hand was fine.

We reversed my wagon in and pulled down the back seats, put pillows and

quilts in there and there we lay watching the movie. 's trying to coax

me to go to his mothers today. I'd rather have my finger nails pulled out

one at a time, but if they all want to go then I'll just smile and grit my

teeth.

Re: We're home

,

I'm not sure about Connor's cough. It's not moist but it does sound chesty.

I didn't think he could pick anything up while on Coli?? I dont think he has

anything as he hasn't been unwell but he does sound like he's losing his

voice. Do you think crying (screaming) for ten minutes 2x a day and during

his ventolin 3x and intal 2x via spacer could be the cause??!! I;m sure that

is why he is sounding a bit croaky. I hope so anyway. His cough isn't bad -

probably a few times a day. But before he started on the Coli (ie. in

hospital) he didn't have any cough. I'm getting sick of worrying. I wish he

was better.

I started him on crataegus today and I believe that this is going to have a

significant impact on keeping him healthy. It takes a while to have an

effect but as long as it works.....If not I'll try clear lung but this one

seems to help fix the problems rather than just prevent infections.

Where is the fundraiser quiz night? I remember you mentioning it a while

ago. I want to get involved in the CF Association but it's a matter of

finding the time.

Speaking of which I have heaps of things to do and 's mum is probably

trying to ring while I'm online......

We're not sure if Connor has asthma as I dont think they formally diagnosed it

until 12 months. But he is on a preventer and reliever puffers which do work -

if I miss one he gets wheezy.

We've just been up in the hills today to see my grandmother. It's worth the 45

minute drive just for her coffee! Now we've got to get outside and get some work

done seeing's as it's a nice day.

How are you feeling about tomorrow? I bet Eilish is all excited! Jayden goes

back to kindy aswell and I am SO looking forward to it. The three hours he's

there isn't long enough!

Kristy

[Guest guest]

Kristy

Just took Eilish to kindy and she's there for the longest 3 1/2 hours of my

life. She was a bit timid, which isn't Eilish but my girlfriend who is a

teacher there was painting with her. I composed myself till I got out the

kindy gate then cried all the way home. The first thing I've done is turn

on to you guys as you know how it tugs at your heart to leave your kids and

the worry. I already told my friend to 'keep her away from the girl in the

purple jumper as I've heard her cough and the boy with the runny nose, which

she said she'd do. Gee its quite, I really don't know what to do.

I know what you feel--the first day Cody went off to preschool, I didn't know

what to do with myself! I'd already had two others go off to school by then,

and each one was hard to let go, but this one was just different--as I'm sure

all of you know and understand. Sure hope she's having a wonderful time! (You

know, it feels weird to talk in present tense, since it's almost 11:00 pm here!

I picked her up and she looked like she'd had a ball. Then true to form she

started to tell me I was a mean mum etc. for taking her home. Yes that's

the Eilish we know and love! When she was quite there its a bit strange.

She made me a lion and hand print. And then gave me a note that they are

going on an excursion to see snow white(ballet), which she will love. Are

you still up? Its 4.56pm here.

It sounds like Eilish had a good day! Is she in pre-entry or normal knidy? I

took Jayden this morning and for the first time in weeks he didn't cry when I

left him. That makes me feel so good! Otherwise I feel really guilty and dont

enjoy my three hours with only Connor. I absolutely LOVE not having Jayden for

the morning but I guess it would be different if I didn't have anyone left at

home. But still, make the most of it!

I started at Tafe tonight and it was great to not think about kids or cf. A very

good distraction if only for a few hours.

Better finish my dinner.....

That sounds so sweet! I love the handprints that both of my boys made in

preschool! I would love the Snow White ballet, too--I went and saw the

Nutcracker many years ago in Winnipeg, Manitoba, performed by the Royal Winnipeg

Ballet--what a treat!!! I was a junior in high school and was in awe.

Our school starts on August 27th, and in some ways, I can hardly wait! I can't

even imagine what it will be like to have 3-1/2 hours all to myself! LOL LOL

But I am really nervous about the whole thing. We will be setting up something

(I thinked they called it Section 504), and I will be meeting with everyone in

August. I am glad, though, that he will be my 3rd one at this school, because

they already know us very well, and know all about Cody. That should make it

easier! I hope...

Kristy,

I don't know what she actually is. If she was in a public kindy then its

probably pre-entry but then she would only go on a Friday morning. But this

is a private kindy with a 8-25 ratio of teachers to kids. So she could have

started when she turned three but didn't. She can go as many sessions as

she likes but for each 3 hour session is $14.00 so if you went all week it

would be expensive. But even on her first day she was doing things and

writing her name, but I forgot to tell them she already could write her

name, so they must have thought they were very good teachers to get her to

master her name in three hours. Liam went to an awful kindy and they were

not helpful with his sessions in regard to Eilish. She goes again on Friday

and I think I'll be better that day. They said she was really well behaved

and they must have meant my EIlish as she's the only one there, but gee not

for me she isn't.

I spoke with as many mothers as I could yesterday and deliberately mentioned

Eilish had cf (and of course explain and all the bad stuff) and told them

how her immune system is low etc. so they probably think gee she's either

pushy or outgoing which Im neither but I wanted them all to now and maybe

they'll think twice before sending a sick child.

As well you had a right to, !! I am very outspoken also, and most people

are quite respectful of it. Our school has a policy that kids must be

fever-free for 24 hours before coming back, and if they have anything that needs

antibiotics, they must be on them for 24 hours (but say they prefer 48, and may

possibly go to that in the next year). Hopefully it will help.

,

Your kindy sounds great!

I looked into a Montessori in Norwood (the closest to us) and it was $375 a term

for two half days?? I think....probably about the same. Of course when Jayden

starts it'll be around $1000 for a term so I'm quite happy paying his $5/session

at present! His kindy isn't as big as other public ones and the teacher student

ratio seems to be higher. In the occassional care it is 1:9 and normal kindy I

think there are about 25 - 30 kids and 4-5 teachers. Pretty good and I;m happy

for the time being.

Of course Eilish was well behaved! Aren't all kids when they're not around their

parents??!!
