    I got to speak with both Kurt and Cindy a few minutes ago. Lindsey is still doing great! She had a bronch this morning and her lungs look fantastic. The surgeon came by and emphasized that it was important to get up and moving. Lindsey marched in place at the side of the bed earlier, and...

    Salt water swimming pools

    I see from a quick search that the swimming topic has been posted before, but I don't see a post specifically addressing the salt water swimming pools that seem to be so popular here in Florida. I'm curious to know if any of you have them, swim in them, etc. We were told by the docs in our CF...

    Talked to Lindsey today...

    Hi all! I just heard Lindsey's sweet voice a few minutes ago. She's starting to feel better and is excited to be going home on IV's this Friday. The respiratory therapists haven't been great, though. They refused giving CPT when she asked for it because the order was written for every 6...
