Guest guest Posted July 11, 2001 Report Share Posted July 11, 2001 Your Name (age)?: Fox-Gray (40yr) Where do you live?: Mesa, Arizona (Outskirts of Phoenix) Name (age) of Child(ren) wcf: Shantell , 19 1/2 years old (Her Highness The Princess), she's going into her second year in college at Arizona State University, majoring in biology (wants to be a marine biologist) holds a 4.3 grade point average. She's 5'4 " , 110 pounds, sandy blonde hair, blue eyes and a perfect figure that I wish I had! Birthday of Child(ren) wcf: 12-12-81 (Christmas baby!) Born in a storm on Kodiak Island, Alaska and flown to Anchorage for emergency surgery for meconium ileus. I was 19years old at the time, and never heard of CF in my life. No family history anywhere with CF. I was so naive, I thought it was cerebral palsy when the doctors told me! Name (age) of siblings: (Bullfrog) 22years Robby 18 years Tony 14 years Name (age) of spouse: Jack () Gray (46yr) My second husband, we were married last year on Valentine's Day 2-14-00. Your Hobbies: Travelling (I work for an airline), talking to this List on-line, spending time with my kids and helping them grow up. I used to sew, cook, bake and all those wonderful things when I didn't have to work for a living...man! Do I miss those days! I'm looking forward to being a grandma many times over. Your Pet Peeve: People who don't treat others the way they want to be treated themselves Your favorite Artist: Meatlof (Rosemary and I are his biggest fans!!), Cher, Tom Petty, Celine Dion, and country music of all sorts! I want to thank everyone for being on this List, it has been such a wonderful experience being able to communicate on the same level. For nearly two decades (I learned of this list in January of this year), I have felt alone in my struggle to understand CF, to help my daughter and to talk to other people who know exactly what I'm going through. You are all my extended family now, and I only hope that I can help in some way and return the friendships of all! --- Gray --- bfoxgray@... --- EarthLink: It's your Internet.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2001 Report Share Posted July 18, 2001 Hi Leigh, welcome to the list. Nice to hear that is doing well. And you live near one of the best CF centers in the world, what is an advantage too. Regarding the use of antibiotics you have to distinguish between what is said in the media about overuse of antibiotics in the general population and their necessity for our kids. Antibiotics are a crucial part of CF treatment and are majorly responsible for the large increase in life expectancy over the last decades. A normal ped, who isn't aware of the special needs of children with CF may be VERY surprised about the dose and the length of antibiotic intake (our ped was), but giving high doses for a long enough period of time is important to lessen the risk of resistance.
