Oh, I forgot.
I think it's important that you ackowledge your in-laws fears and concern for Grant in a very positive way.
As you said, this is just now becoming real for them. They may not be questioning your decision as much as they are just wishing Grant didn't have to have ANYTHING done to him.
If they are like my parents, they come from an era when medical "stuff" just wasn't necessary, or accessible or whatever, and to them it all just seems to be too much.
Someone here (LouLou, I think) once commented to me that my MIL was probably grieving and feeling some guilt over having passed on a faulty gene. I had never ever considered her FEELINGs before, just her words and behavior. Understanding that her feelings motivated it all really helped me to remain reasonable. About the CF issues, anyway. Everything else she does to irritate me is up for grabs.
Good luck. YOu'll be in my thoughts.
