CF MediWidget

Dear CysticFibrosis.com Community, This is a season to be with loved ones and to remember those who are no longer with us. We want to honor and thank Melissa/JazzysMom and others who shared so much knowledge, support and kindness with our community before their recent deaths. In 2010, we’d like to focus on knowledge. We hope you have been benefiting from our educational programs this fall. We can learn so much from each other and from the medical experts who grace us with their presence. This week we have welcomed Dr. Sawicki to our forums to discuss the transition from pediatric to adult CF clinics, and we have filmed Jerry Cahill interviewing Dr. Germana about the H1N1 virus. Stay tuned for these fascinating videos! Additionally, we want to thank Dr. Zanni for answering our questions about Airway Clearance over the past couple weeks. We wish you the best for the holiday season and the new year. With Support, Education and Hope
