15 Month Old going for CF test

grassisgreener · Jul 26, 2007

Lots of hugs to you for going through this especially with the recent loss of your mom...that is an awful lot to bear. I know it is easier said than done but try not to worry too much about the test because worrying won't do anything other than make the next 11 days stink! I think it is a good idea to get familiar with the disease (www.cff.org is a good start) so that you are prepared to take action if he is positive. If he does have CF, I am sure you will be sad and depressed. I haven't met anyone who has felt otherwise. But I also will say that with time most of us parents come to terms with the diagnosis, figure out a new "game plan" for our lives and make the most out of it for our own sake and especially for the sake of our beautiful kiddos. I felt like the world had ended the day my CFer was diagnosed (at 12 months old) and now I look back on the past 3 years since then and while they have been stressful and filled with worry, they have also been fun and quite amazing! Only God knows what the future has in store but I am looking forward to watching her grow up and do great things!

Hoping the test is negative, please let us know his results!
