Thanks for the welcomes!! He really wants to do a cruise. We did a 7 night Western last year and he was getting over an exacerbation when we left. Well the sea air must have loosened up everything in his lungs b/c his cough was horrible!! We were supposed to stop in Grand Cayman but b/c of the weather we could not.....lucky for us b/c he was running low on medication and our new stop in Key West allowed me to contact his doctors and get medication refills!! He was weaning of them when we boarded so I packed what I thought he would need!! (lessoned learned...always bring extra!!!)
Normally I wouldn't mind pulling the kids out of school, but Brian has missed so much already this school year and the winter is not even here yet!!!
I'll pick some dates and see what happens!! They told me to look at 7 night cruises and they don't have any over the summer b/c the Magic is going to Europe!!
I'll keep you posted!! Glad i found this thread!!
We're another CF family, Piper is 8, and we're in the planning process now as well! A cruise is awesome, the sea air (as you found out) is like hypertonic saline x 10! I've also heard going to the beach, ocean swimming, etc can be very helpful.
As for pulling Brian out..Piper has physically attended her school only 21 days, and at this point we've pulled her out until at least March to do homebound schooling. Not sure if you've been doing homebound with him, but feel free to pm me. I can understand not wanting to pull him out, but this is a once in a lifetime trip for him..maybe check into spring break dates?
