It really stinks but I wouldn't go either, especially since your CFer is so young. We have this same trouble with my side of the family and after stressing out over the past 4 years this year we have just planned to stay home and it is actually very exciting to me bc NO DRAMA at Christmas <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Hope it all works out for your family!

I know it stinks, but I would not go either.

Talk to your mom and tell her you will do a Christmas with her on another day. You should not have to put your child's health in jeapordy to save an adult from feeling disappointed.

I know it is easier said than done, but as parents of CFers we have to make some tough choices for our kids.

My husband and I are dealing with a toxic family member. We have decided to no longer have any contact with this person (partly because the stress of it was making me ill). Other members of the family have gotten mad at us for it, but we are taking a stand and doing what is right for our family. Life is too short to worry about everyone's feeling but your own.

Good luck!
Hugs to you.

My family has had this type of problem for about 7 years now. My nephew has CF, as well as my two daughters. Seven years ago my nephew started culturing B.Cepacia, so we had to stop all contact b/n mine and my sister's families. It was heartwrenching!

But, this is what we did for years, upon years, and it worked well. And I think it could work for you in this situation. Of course my parents wanted my sister and I and our hubby's and grandchildren together, but understood it wasn't possible.

So, at ALL family events, me and my little family went to the parties first for maybe appetizers and sometimes our meal. Then we would set a time that we would leave, and then my sister and her little family would come for dessert. We alternated who ate the 'meal' with the rest of the family.

It has worked for us. That way my sister and I both got to spend the holidays with our parents.

If I knew before hand that there were going to be sick children there, I would not go. It is too much of a risk to have your child get sick and have it turn into something more than a cold and him end up in the hospital. That's why I am cautious about taking Brady places. He does not have CF but I do and if he gets sick and passes it onto me, that would definitely not be good.

Health over Holidays!!!
