University of Florida

[Guest guest]

Hey Keely and Lori,

My dad is also a UF graduate. We lived in Gainesville from 1967-1970

while he finished his bachelors and masters degrees.

I was born in Fort Myers (so was another sister that was born 354 days

after me). We lived in Fort Myers three years before moving to Venice

for three years, then Sarasota (where my youngest sister was born)

before moving to Gainesville.

My daughter wanted to go to UF but decided she didn't want to be that

far from home. I haven't been back since '99; I'd go visit a good

friend who lives in the Tampa/ area. We'd spend as much time as

possible lounging under an umbrella with a book and wine coolers at

Siesta Key and Indian Rocks Beach -- in-between shooing males away

from our bikini clad, blond daughters!

> Keeley, First of all, I must correct one thing; I am a Gator and a

UF graduate, as hs my husband. We most certainly do NOT cheer for

FSU. (though my son does, traitor that he is).

> Send me your email address; I still haven't figured out how to get

someone's address like Torsten told us. I want to know where you go

to clinic.

> Keep up the breastfeeding; that is great that you are pumping. I

breastfed Mycah for three years and I think it really made a

difference in her health.

> The dietician at our CF center told us that breast milk

was low in salt. She also said it was a " standard of care " to

supplement them with salt until they were old enough to do it on their

own. She said when they got older their body would tell them to add

the extra salt and all we would need to do was make sure she had

access to a salt shaker. Anyway, I am supposed to give 1/8 tsp. twice

daily. I don't seem to be able to get that much in her, but I at

least get her to take half of it. She has had the sodium levels in

her blood checked and they went from low normal to normal with the

supplements. You can have Liam checked next time he has his blood

drawn to be sure. I also live in Florida, where it is very hot and

babies sweat alot. We may need to supplement here more then you do

depending on your temperatures.
