I think I'm going to be the "Grinch

I may be coming from a different direction all together but why would your sister take her sick kids anywhere?? Are there other children going to be there? I would want to know what the kids had before making any decisions. Head cold, flu, virus??? I wouldn't go, not a chance. 4 yrs ago our family had to make a decision like this because one of my granddaughter got RSV and my daughters twin girls were premies so we didn't take the chance. We had two christmas's one with each family. No since in taking any chances and as a mother and Nana your mother would understand and maybe make arrangements to come to your home at another day to celebrate.....Good luck!!!!!

Go ahead and be the Grinch. Your son is 17 months old, definately not old enough to understand that he shouldn't play with kids with snot coming out of their noses and sneezing all over the place. It is pretty much unavoidable that if all the kids are together that they will be jumping on each other, rough housing, sharing food, etc. So he's going to catch whatever they have - it's just a matter if you want to risk it or not. At least your sister had the courtesy of telling you about it - that is HUGE in my book and I want to give your sister a hug for just being open and honest and not hiding the fact the kids are sick. Although one would think she would be the one skipping the family gathering since I'm sure your Mom and the rest of the family won't be thrilled to be sick next week either.

I think I'm going to be the "Grinch

I wouldn't go... I am having a similar struggle because one of my cousins was in the hospital a few weeks ago with really bad pneumonia, and even though I think it would probably be fine, my bf isn't coming on Christmas <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0"> I know it stinks, but I think it is better to be safe than sorry. It's just not a risk I am willing to take, so we will celebrate Christmas Eve even more this year!

I hope you have a Merry Christmas anyway... know you're not alone in having CF interfere with your Christmas plans <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif" border="0">

Because of how they impact my health, I didn't go see relatives for Xmas last year and I have no plans to do so this year. I don't even feel Grinch-like about it. It's nothing personal. They just make me sick. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">
