Hi Lauren, this is blondelawyer (formally from cf.com--I am among the banned members, still not sure why). Awhile back you PMed me about using tobra with the eFlow, but with the banning my PMs were all deleted. Could you send me that info again? We are going to clinic in a few weeks and are going to take another stab at getting the doc to write him a script. My email is lisawb at gmail dot com. Thanks!
