DS went to a party last winter at the gymnastics academy -- was two hours long -- started with cake and then they had activities for the kids. Was a milestone for us because parents were to leave the kids and pick them up. I worried about the enzyme issue and finally when we got to the gym, I gave him 3 enzymes and washed it down with a drink. And he was fine. I there any way you can give her the enzymes before hand? Otherwise, I wouldn't worry about it. The kids are going to be so busy, no-one is going to notice.

Hi! It is a hard thing when other people have to start giving your child enzymes or meds. I just wanted to say that I use every opportunity I get to explain cf to people. Awareness is a key factor in raising funds for cf research. The more people that know what cf is, the better. You never know who you might meet that will be an advocate for cf.
Hope the party goes great<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I agree with Jada on helping with awareness. I am always seeking opportunites to help in fundraising<img src="">
I never thought twice about giving my girls enzymes in front of people. Sometimes people won't ask about it. And if they do, I just explain that they have CF and that they cannot digest fat or protein.
Over the years I have had funny things said to me about the enzymes from other parents. One mom asked me what 'zygotes' were? I was curious too. Never heard of them. I asked her if it was a toy or what? She said that her little girl said Hannah had to take zygotes when she ate food. Which I though was pretty funny myself, and had to explain why Hannah was taking zygotes (enzymes) and no big deal. Hannah was in pre-k then.
Then one parent told me that her son was at a doctors appt for a sore throat or something, and that her son (who was in Kayla's kindergarten class) told his doctor that he needed enzymes too, just like his classmate Kayla. To which the doctor found quite funny that this little guy was dx/treating his own condition<img src=""> So, I had to explain to this parent what the enzymes were for, (which the doctor had already suggested what they were used for.)
Now that my girls have been in school with the same kids for the past few years, their friends look out for them as well. If we go out to eat, sometimes they will say 'Mrs. Krumrey, did you bring Hannah's medicine?' or my favorite 'Why doesn't Kayla always take her medicine at lunch?' (already knew she wasn't doing it all of the time--busted again<img src="">) Kids really are funny, and just don't think about them being a big deal after they are around it for so long.
I was nervous at first about letting other people give them the enzymes, but they get it done and are usually very gracious about helping. I have never felt like someone felt overwhelmed by helping out with such an simple task. And if I didn't feel like the adult at the event could handle it, then my kids shouldn't be there in the first place.
