I would say let your child eat what they want. If the child is hungry, let them eat. I know it has helped my son alot. French fries are the besst, but once they are ready to eat. A of my boys were on table food early, they were always hungry. Besides, table food has a higher fat content than...

I am a mom of a 4 year old, this Friday, that has CF. I used to worry about my son gaining weight. It was even harder when he was an infant because he had horrible reflux and it seemed like he threw up his entire bottle. My sons name is Joey, and he is the baby of 3 kids. He had a rough start...

Sorry to hear you are having trouble. I would start sending very aggressive emails to the teacher, cc in the principle and superintendant stating the emergency of the situation. and also to threaten that you will hire a lawyer for their negligence and creating an environmrnt that is toxic for...

But it has gotten better. My son is doing better, my husband is home (which would've never happened if this didn't happen to him), and I still am having moments, but in general am improving emotionally better. I will go through waves of doing all of the therapies and treatments, and somedays...

Julie; I know exactly what you mean. I ask myself, why bother, there is no point. But living through the moment you are describing will pass. Everyone kept telling me god only gives you what you can handle. My response is BULLoni. I have had more happen to myself, son and husband than most...
