Emily was a pain during her years from about 14 to 17 maybe. Not all the time, but intermittently.....She was rebellious, rude, nasty, mouthed off to everyone (mostly Dad and me) didn't want to do her meds, yelled at her docs and then sort of grew out of it. Around the same time she met her fiancee, Mike....who I'm sure was part of the change. I think all CFers go through it (I know all teens do!) The whole "I know I'm going to die thing is normal too I think....you can't live with a diagnosis of CF and not have that in your head (maybe not at the age of 9, but definitely as a teen)
Hang in there moms of teens....it definitely gets better and you get back a nice young adult who can be a good person and a friend!
Sorry Emily for getting a little mushy
*turns red....hates it when I do that*

Unfortunately, I think it may come with the name "Emily". BUT that can be good when they get to be a little older and need to stand up for themselves in school or at the hospital with idiot doctors who always think they know better.

Allie, I'm sorry but I think you're always gonna get her the way she is now.....unfortunately, she has been "shaped" into this person who is rude and snotty......LOL

Hi Julie, I did go back and re-read and I still have the same feeling. I guess I just take it differently. She said why do my work I'm just going to die anyway. Well were all going to die someday. I know it was in quotes. As far as my 9 yr. old son goes-he does know the outcome of CF and we talk about it and we encourage him to have dreams and he does. We have a very open relationship with him about everything and he does come to us with concerns. We are very positive with him! He knows it's important to take care of himself to have a long happy life. Thanks for sharing your difference of opinion.

Hi Julie, I apprecriate your difference of opinion-I was just sharing mine. I know it was in quotes, but I still don't agree-that's my right as it is yours to disagree with me. Were all going to die someday whearther we have CF or not and for me it doesn't get me down. My relationship with my son is a very positive one. Just to let you know! He does know the outcome of CF but we encourage him to be positive and he does have dreams! he knows it's important to take care of himself to have a long life. We have a very open ralationship with him he shares things with us. We always told him to come to us and he does wheather it's about CF or anything. And I'm thankful for that. I don't want him tp keep things in. So no I wouldn't be surprised with anything he would tell me about his CF and being afraid of dying or having dreams because we talked about it when he brings it up. He wants to be a dirt bike rider (professional) a little scary to me but if that's what he wants to do o.k. but that could change. Again thanks for your opinion. Congratulations on your triplets and I wish good health to your husband and all of you!
