My CF physician said that if staying at home was an option for us, then we should consider doing it for as long as possible. So, I stayed home with my daughter and she just started Kindergarten. It was a hard decision, but it was the right one for us. Adjusting to treatments and everything was easier, I think, because I had more time.
We took my pay cut, which was a big deal for us because we had based everything - our mortgage and cars on two incomes. But, we thought it was worth it - if it kept her away from certain bacteria and illnesses even for an extra year, it was worth it for us. I think we did the best thing for us.
