Tina, I have just come across your post and I am absolutely amazed at how well your family has fared thus far with CF in the mix for 20+ years. This is no time to panic, actually the opposite. Now you have a name for all those annoying issues the kids had growing up (bad allergies, thinner, etc) but now there are great meds and tons of support at your disposal only increasing the chancens of each kids projected health!
That is how I felt at least when Jae was diagnosed. Finally, I figured out what it was and after so many years of pointing it out a Dr. finally said yes Ms. Day you are right!!! I felt so relieved. But I can see this is coming as a huge shock to your family, and I do not want to trivialize the disease in any way. I just meant to show you a way of looking at it from the opposite side of the coin. Heck, it may bring you all closer than ever if that is even possible!! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0"> Once you get the hang of the medicinal routine (nebs, vest,meds) learn a little lingo, I am sure your family will have this down pat like they do their sports!
Good luck to you all, I will be looking forward to all the updates!
Love, hugs, and prayers for the Holm Family!
