well i guess to start this i hav to start with my sister shes almost 18 now and she was diagnose at 2 years old. when my mom got prego with me there was suspicions of me having CF so they did a gene test and wala! i was diagnosed before birth. when i was born i was technically dead i wasnt breathing and my intestines had collapsed so i had to go into immediate surgery i was 2 hours old when they sliced me in half in two places (and i have huge ugly scars on my stomach to prove it) they took out i think it was 70% of my intestines. i was allowed to go home at 4 or 5 months old and my parents were very happy i survived my ordeal. however my doctors always tell me if i had been born before my sister i would have died because they wouldn't have known what was wrong with me. when i was home i was on an IV and a feeding tube because i still couldnt gain weight on my own. idk how i got better but i did and here i am. ever since ive been spiteful i guess of cf and what its done to me mentally, emotionally and physically. thats why i came on this site looking for ppl who are going thru wat i am and can maybe help me cuz i dont talk to any of my friends family esp my parents and docs. (im not a very open person when im face to face thats why im ALWAYS on the computer)
