Starbright is great!! Savannah has been with them for 2 yrs. now. They have a

a program where the kids can get on at home just like they do at some

hospitals. They even have a computer scholarship program to help children get a

home

computer if they don't have access to one. If you have any questions just

check out their web site or call. They were great to answer all of our

questions.

Greetings One and All:

I just learned about an interesting program from our CF Nurse, Cindy.

Starbright Foundation produces CD-Rom (games) for kids with chronic

illnesses to help them cope with their medical routines and required

lifestyle. I just ordered one for my girlies, so I don't exactly know

what it's like yet, but it's FREE! The company is also sending me a

video tape to share with Alec and Lizzi's school/class post

hospitalization (as needed) to help their peers/faculty understand the

importance of hygiene issues....to reduce teasing...etc.

So here's the web page:

www.starbright.org Simply log on and punch through the windows to

examine the various products. There is a phone number to call to place

the order.

We'll have to have a chat room discussion to evaluate the products

sometime down the road. :-)

(PS: Alec and Lizzi just competed in their first Feis -Irish Dancing

Competition. Alec took two 3rds and a 2nd. Lizzi, two 1sts and a 2nd.

Not bad for two kids with lung disease. Plus, its great aerobic

exercise, and my two are passionate about it. I highly recommend it.)

Jill,

Glad to have you on this list. There are some really great people who

post.

You will learn a LOT! Sounds like you already have a fair amount of

knowledge of CF. Your niece is very lucky to have an Aunt who loves her

so much.

I am an Aunt, too.

Welcome aboard.

Hey Lee,

from today who's pregnant! YAY!!
