    Farms, hay, manure, IgE, etc...

    My son's father lives on a farm. We are not together, and do not get along. Unfortunately, co-parenting isn't possible with him, so I've petitioned for full custody of my son, Billy. He is 3, with CF. One of my major concerns for my son is the farm. His father does NOT put a mask on him...

    Newly diagnosed and scared to death

    Thanks... I was extremely close to a total breakdown on Friday, three days after the diagnosis. But today I am okay. I don't know if this will be an emotional rollercoaster type of thing, but as of right now I am really trying to feel hopeful and optimistic.
