CF ROUTINES

[JazzysMom]

Let me just emphasize something. I dont "Hide" the fact that I have to do my treatments etc. I just dont want it to "infiltrate" our time together.

When I tuck her into bed etc. I say "OK I am going to do my treatments so I can get to bed myself, see ya in the morning".

She knows they have to be done whether she sees me do it or not. I just thought when possible that maybe its best I not throw another reminder her way.

I do agree that "the unknown is scary" and she asks me ?? about my treatments if she hasnt "seen" me do it in awhile. Basically to verify that I have been LOL!

Lately it just seems that we cant do too much around the house without an iv or treatment interferring so I think that is where this is coming from.

For the most part how we do it works well. On the weekends she sees everything & is fine with it except when she cant hear the television LOL!

Thanks for all the feedback.......

Mel, you do an awesome job with Jazz. You are such a good mom and she is so lucky to have you in her corner. Your constant concern for her feelings, even when you don't feel well, is so touching. I think the three of you make a pretty darn good team!

I can certainly see your point and understand exactly what you mean about throwing yet another reminder in her face.

To answer your question, the only time I try to be sneaky is when she has sleepovers, just to avoid the questions she may get from her friends.

Ooohhhh, a "it seems to infiltrate our lives a lot- is that a bad thing for her?" vs. "how much do you let her see?" question- did I understand correctly this time? Sorry, I misunderstood before! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif" border="0">

I try to incorportate my treatments into what I am doing during the day, so my nebs and vest are just another "chore'' that has to be done, amongst the bill paying, grocery list making, errand running, etc. Otherwise, I would get absolutely nothing done! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

The only time she seems to get aggravated about it is when I am doing things like paying bills, putting on my makeup, etc. while vesting or doing a neb and I tell her she will have to wait for her story until vest time- not so different from other moms, I suppose...

It also means that while I have a health issue, I am taking care of it properly, just like excercising or eating right would be for anyone else.
From what you said in your last post, it would seem that Jazz's knowing that you are taking care of yourself is comforting to her. So she understands that the treatments are important, and understands that you are being responsible for your health and wellbeing (and therefore, also looking out for her!) by doing them. Looking on the bright side, that is not such a bad thing for anyone to know.
