I think it's normal to have your response. I'm 51 with CF and at time have the same issue. Unless you think you're suffering from "severe" depression. Your child being twelve and now experiencing their first admission is a trying time for both patient and caregiver, just as my wife. Do talk...

I too was followed by Dr. Schwartzman and doctor McKey with the UM Clinic in 1964 till 1976. When I then started seeing the University of Florida doctors. My family loved Dr. Schwartzman so much, my Mom would tell you it was his and her "will"that helped me stay so well for so many of my younger...

<P>Also please remember if there are "healthy" children in the home the doctor will give them Flu-Mist. This is a live virus and can shed for about 2 weeks. This can cause an infection in someone with CF or an immune compromised patient.</P> <P> </P> <P>Bill 49CF D508</P>
