Ok, I know this has been discussed before on the forum, so I apologize ahead of time. My daughter Avery is 2 1/2 and has CF. Against all odds there is a little girl accross the streeet who has CF and is 3 or 4 yrs old. Avery adores this little girl. There are many children in our neighborhood and all the parents get along so well. Occasionally the families go outside when all the kids are playing in the street. Our neighborhood is a dream of a neighborhood. Avery does play with her CFer friend, sometimes with the same toys as well as rides in her little motorized Jeep. Am I crazy for letting this happen? It breaks my heart to think I can't let the two girls play with eachother. The other childs parents don't really say much about it. We have discussed the subject with them and they are at a loss just as we are on what to do. I know that they can pass bad things to eachother, but it just feels wrong not let them play. I know many people are going to think I am crazy, and that is ok. I just need to hear others viewpoints on this subject to help me decide what I should do. Its tough trying to explain to Avery that she can't play with her, we have tried. Avery doesn't even really know that she has CF yet, I am not sure when we will start trying to explain it to her...that is a whole other discussion.
Thanks,
