Hi, I am a mom of a now three month old with cf and a 3year old and 8 year old who have to have a sweat test Tue. 22. They have always been healthy but since our youngest was diagnosed with a new born screen they have to have it done. I seem to not be scared or anything about Saydie having cf. Why I don't know. I just feel like ok she is healthy now keep her cpt's up and pomicort once a day and she is good to go. I keep her away from illnesses as much as possible. Her cf doctor says she is healthy and doing well and says if people ask how she is doing tell them she is doing good. Her xrays are good too. I have read up on cf alot but I seem to be not worried. Maybe it is because of not ever seeing someone live with cf or have it. When most babies have cf do they usually have problems from start or sometimes they will be ok and all of a sudden have severe problems. She is gaining weight by herself. They put her on creon5 one capsule per 8 ounce bottle just because her stool had some protine except that she is gaining on her own. She went from 6.11 when we left the hosp. to 10.6 at 2 months with no enzymes and we will know Tues. but if she don't weigh atleast 13lbs. It won't be much less. Thanks for reading my rambling but I guess what I am wondering if I should be afraid. Her cf doctor says with the techn. out there now and treatments she should beable to live a life like my other 2 but with no garentees.

It's okay that you are not afraid. =-) I think it is great you are not afraid. Your daughter sounds very healthy. After all, what would fear do for anyone? "How dingy a thing is fear, And sorrow, how dull to cherish!" Ha ha, sorry, I just had to get Elinor Wylie into the conversation. Anyway, everyone is different, and there's really no way to tell what the future for your daughter will hold. =-) We just have to take things as they come. "Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of it's own." Okay, I swear I'm gonna stop with the quotes now. I just had to add that one, 'cause it's one of my favorites. =-) Anyway, if you really want to be afraid, just wait awhile until she is a rebelious teenager. =-) i think I put my parents through hell during those years. =-) And then when she graduates and moves away. =-) I'm sure there'll be plenty of fear then, but for now it's okay to just be happy. =-)
