Guest guest Posted April 11, 2000 Report Share Posted April 11, 2000 Jen, I am going to be in Knoxville at the end of this month and for a week in July. My grandmother lives in Sevierville and my Dad lives in Seymour... Are you anywhere near these areas? has always been at less than the 5th percentile for height and weight since birth. Weight gain has always been an issue for us. He continues to steadily plod along, right there at the 5th percentile. Our CF docs have never really said that his weight track record so to speak has had anything to do with his current lung condition. They have said recently that we need to try really hard to put some weight on him so that his body has more " reserves " to burn when fighting infection. I too am interested in the subject of flaxseed oil... I must have came on just after that discussion started, but I know there is another mom out there asking about it... I would really like some info on that also... has clinic on 5/1, would like to ask about it...hope we can hold out till 5/1, sounds like a nasty sounding chest cough developing. Would not be surprised at another round of antibiotics (IV). Thanks goodness for his port a cath!! The last time we were in-patient was Christmas. My two cents worth!! Okay maybe it was more like a buck fifty! Chris 30yo mom to j.j. 11 no cf and thomas 9 w/cf If you have family and friends that you love.... you have it ALL!!!!
