Guest guest Posted September 22, 2000 Report Share Posted September 22, 2000 This is my first post! I have been researching my options for approx. 6 months now. I'm so happy that I found Dr. R's web site. Amy Poe's story really inspired me. It's nice to know there is hope. I am 36 with 3 sons, 1 husband and a full time demanding job. I have been searching for something that would provide a fast recovery. Mini shounds like my answer to prayers. I am just starting this journey and am currently getting my paper work together to send to Dr. R. Any insite would be helpful at this point. My current BMI is 42. My insurance plan book says that any treatment for Morbid Obesity will be covered. They define MO as being 100# over weight. If thats all they need I should have no problem. It scares me to read all of the problems everyone else is having with their insurance. Wish me luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 , Welcome to our group. Good luck with the PFT's. Tina W., mother of , almost 18yoa wcf Hello! Hello Everyone. I just found this group tonight and wanted to introduce myself. I am the mother of an 11 month old boy with CF. He was pretty much diagnosed at birth when they performed emergency surgery for meconium ileus. He was less than 36 hours old and still 4 weeks early. But he made it through like a trooper. They started him on albuterol treatments after he came off the respirator (from surgery-not from being premie) and enzymes as soon as he was drinking milk. He's now doing great. Most people who meet him are shocked when we say he has CF. He is scheduled for his second set of PFT's this Friday. It should be interesting to see how he handles them. The biggest challenge the first time was keeping him awake on the drive in - of course we got stuck in rush hour traffic! Anyway, I am excited to share ideas, challenges and most of all accomplishments with all of you. Regards, KaronB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 Welcome to the group! , mom of , 5 on friday with CF Hello! Hello Everyone. I just found this group tonight and wanted to introduce myself. I am the mother of an 11 month old boy with CF. He was pretty much diagnosed at birth when they performed emergency surgery for meconium ileus. He was less than 36 hours old and still 4 weeks early. But he made it through like a trooper. They started him on albuterol treatments after he came off the respirator (from surgery-not from being premie) and enzymes as soon as he was drinking milk. He's now doing great. Most people who meet him are shocked when we say he has CF. He is scheduled for his second set of PFT's this Friday. It should be interesting to see how he handles them. The biggest challenge the first time was keeping him awake on the drive in - of course we got stuck in rush hour traffic! Anyway, I am excited to share ideas, challenges and most of all accomplishments with all of you. Regards, KaronB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
