My daughter (diagnosed @ 6 months) is now 19. She is learning what life is like after high school. She has had several jobs in the past couple years. Each time she gets hired, she tells them she has CF and that she is hopitalized frequently. They always tell her that they will work with her and not to worry about her job. Three months later, she tells them she has to go in to the hospital for approximately 10-12 days. They tell her, her job is secure. She keeps in touch with them during her hospitalization. She gets out, and they tell her they replaced her. This has happend 4-5 times now.
My question is how do you keep supporting her dreams of getting a good job. She is getting so very disappointed and just wants to get ssi.
She is also enrolled in college. She begins the semester with a new attitude. Each semester, she has been hopitalized and has to drop classes. She does not want to take online classes and is beginning to give up on furthering her education.
It is breaking my heart to see her giving up. She tries so hard and each time she is disappointed.
