CF test - PM to you Brother.

Hope all goes well with your family. It sounds like you have your priorities right where they should be.

JCizzle

Best of luck to you, my friend. I know how stressful it can be flying back and forth, much less with a family involved.

MTuccelli

My prayers are with you and your family RC.

SmokySuit

Agreed! You should go home if you can, family first.

Hopefully they ship you out soon. If anything pops up with my Marines, they are on a plane the very same day! Being a family man, I take those issues very seriously. If a man is worried about his family, he should be home taking care of things. We can hold down the fort. Your wife has a tough job raising those kids solo! Get home brother, we'll be behind you soon enough.

OK, so after long talks with the wife and the command here a decision has been made: I am going home for ten days to be with my wife for the results of the CF test and to have the blood test done incase the sweat chloride test is inconclusive. I wanted to lessen the time gone so I'd have more time to look for a job and still get paid when I get home for good. Hopefully this will be the last time I am needed at home for 8 months. I will be back to my unit the first week of April. Hopefully when I get back I will be able to get out in town finally and meet up with Jcizzle for the International HERF. I wish you all the best and as of Wed. I might not be on here too often, so I'll see you when I get back. Take care and Smok 'em if you got 'em!

Family first, bro. My prayers and thoughts are with you. When I was a Big Red One, the motto was "Duty First"; when they made me a recruiter I thought I'd finally get some home time, (you know that ain't so), As my son entered the 8th grade, showing a few discipline problems, I realized that no matter how much I loved the Army, no matter how many years invested, I couldn't continue to spend 9 months a year out of touch. Sounds like you've got a good command, that's in your favor. I won't go into CF, except to say that I've seen some patients that have proved all the books wrong, in a good way. Good luck to you. Words are inadequate...but they're all we've got right now.

Good luck with your son. Our thoughts are with you.

Hope everything works out ok. If there's anything you guys need, don't hesitate to ask!

I work at a children's hospital with one of the best cf programs in the country. Let me knowif you need anything...a referral to a doc here or to a center closer to your house (no idea where your family is). Good luck, brother.

Sorry to hear this bro. You and your fam will be in my prayers!

OK, so yesterday was the sweat test. It went as expected, read: it didn't work. My daughter sweated just enough. My son however, didn't sweat at all. I was prepaired for this, now I am just mad because the insurance doesnt want to pay for the test on me and my wife. If they did we would know if it was even a possibility and whether or not we needed to test them again. It wasnt as bad as I thought it would be, but dont want him to have to go through it again if I can help it. Anyways, just a quick update. Hopefully we get the results from her test today so that we know her status and he goes back on Thursday for round two. Thanks for all the well wishing and prayers. The only plus to me being home so far was the fact that my wife has found a cigar she wants me to buy a couple of boxes of and it is the Cain Nub F, one of my new favorites!

skweekz

Glad you made it home brother. Hope everything works out with the family!

Continued prayers for you and your family.

Good news. Happy Easter. As for coping, your kids will do much better than you.

PuroFreak

Very glad to hear the good news! If there is any more scary than being worried about your kids I don't know what it is. I'll continue to keep your family and my thoughts and prayers and I hope you can be home with them soon.
