    tough topic- portrayed life expectancy

    See, CFF is a bit misleading on their whole 'life expectancy' thing. They don't actually say that the average life expectancy is 37... they say the PROJECTED median age of survival, the age at which half of those with 37 may be expected to live, is 37. This applies to those born now, not those...

She was chubby as a baby and toddler and then from age 3 onward stopped gaining and growing and started falling off the growth charts. <br> <br>She gained 8 pounds and grew...

    We can't put it off any longer <sigh>

    Oh that really, REALLY sucks C!!! I am so sorry you were misled in what to expect after the surgery. :-( We were given literature to read and shown the actual tube on a doll and that was when I said there was no way I was doing that to my child, esp given it was summertime. The first button she...

I particularly like that because even if you've had CF taken off the table for you, the symptoms and life with chronic illness hasn't gone away...

    CFF logo with no background
