Tammy,

I got this from the cff website. When my recently diagnosed niece had her

tune-up last month they admitted a boy with cf shortly before her discharge. At

that point, at any time when either he or my niece left their room they had to

wear a mask.

Hope this helps,

Jill

How can someone reduce the chance of acquiring B. cepacia from another

individual?

In the CF care center, staff strive to prevent the transmission of B. cepacia

between people with CF by using proper infection control measures that limit

close contact between persons with CF. Such measures include separating CF

patients on hospital units and seeing them in the clinic on different days. CF

Foundation-accredited care centers also follow strict procedures when cleaning

clinic rooms, pulmonary function labs, and respiratory therapy equipment to

reduce the risk of contamination. These measures to minimize cross-infection are

recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and are

implemented by the infection control staff at the hospital. It is helpful to ask

the CF care center team about the hospital's efforts to minimize risks to people

with CF, as not all hospital staff members are fully aware of the risks to

people with CF of cross infection from these bacteria.

B. Cepacia

Hi all,

I have a quick question for all of you.

We were at clinic this morning for 's follow up appt (she was

admitted in Oct for pneumonia) Her x-rays show that there has been

very little improvement, so we are being sent to another hospital

approximately 5 hours from our home.

My question is, while at clinic this morning, I found out that one

of the other patients who was scheduled to see the doctor this

morning is B. Cepacia positive. Is it normal practice to have

patients with Cepacia attend clinic with patients who don't have

it????

Thank you,

Were all crossing our fingers and hoping for improvement here as

well. She's been battling this bout of pneumonia since April.

We've been through two hospital admissions and numerous antibiotics

and still no improvement :( It's come as quite a shock to us as she

has been extremely healthy up until this.

And nothing was cleaned after the little girl with Cepacia left :(

I always thought that if one Cf'er cultures something, it is best to

keep them away from other cfers. I would be a little alarmed if I found

out my child was within close contact with this person. Maybe I am just

paranoid?

Hi Gale,

We'll be going to the IWK Grace womens and Childrens hospital in

Halifax, Nova Scotia.

This mornings x-rays show that there has been very little change in

the pneumonia it is not improving. The CT scan shows Bronchiostasis

as well (please forgive my spelling if thats wrong, it's been a

loooooong day). This has been going on sooooo long now that Ash's

spirits are dropping and I'm starting to worry :(

That sounds like a great idea....our clinic however, does not work

that way. The kids end up sitting in the same waiting room together

for hours at a time between seening the RT's, dieticians Dr. etc.

Sounds like your clinic is a whole lot more organized than ours.

Our 'normal' Cf clinic is on a Monday. All the MRSA & B.Cepacia cfers

come in on Wednesdays. They don't get admitted to hsp, they do home

IV's unless necessary and then its on a different floor.

In our clinic, we check in at the front desk. They take us and put us in an

exam room right away. They send us to pft's and to x-ray if we need to go.

We then go back to the exam room and there we stay until it is time to

leave. The dietician, social worker, gastrointerologists and anyone else

that we see comes into the room to see us. We never see any of the other

patients.

I wonder if they wash their hands between rooms.??????????? OR....

before they exam/touch you or your child. That is where many breakdowns

happen. It is their " delivering " germs directly to you & yours from the

last person they examined ...............if you want some " wash your

hand " buttons, I will be happy to send to you .Where to clinic & at

hospital . There is no charge................remember I must have

Grandmom Bev,

The medical students/interns do wash their hands. The doctors do also.

Thanks for the reminder, I will be more mindful and pay closer attention to

make sure they are washing their hands. Thanks for the offer to send the

buttons. If i see that it is a problem when we go in December, I will let

you know.

I am very happy your hospital does that . We have watched so many over

the past & found they do not . BUT . This sounds like a refreshing

start. I have sent thousands of the buttons out all over the world in

last couple years. Surprising , doc's have asked for them for their

staff at many of the Ed Days I do. I always have them on my exhibit

table.

Have a great week -Its HUMP day !!!

Tammy,

I would definitely write to the CFF in land and mention this. Not

to alarm anyone, but this practice needs to be stopped quickly. You

can quote from their own web site.

Imagine a newly diagnosed baby with parents who are still freaked out

who don't know anything about CF yet even.

Like Shana and Dana and so many who are out there looking out for

themselves and their loved ones, we owe it to all the other CF

families to keep them safe.

I'd be happy to write for you if you want. They are pretty used to

hearing from me ;)

Two adults always go with Abby to her clinic visits. One adult stays

in the hallway with Abby while the other adult waits in the waiting

room for her name to be called. There are usually one or two other

kids with cf waiting in the waiting room.

Grandma Bev,

You sent us some of these " wash your hand " pins before I even joined

this list. They are great!

Hi grandmom Bev,

I would love to have a couple of the " wash your hands " buttons, that

is if you don't mind sending them to Canada :) I'd be happy to pay

any shipping costs.
