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.

You have to do what is best for your child. Personally, it was the best thing we ever did for our son and sometimes I wished we would of done it sooner. Health wise he is better and he is so much better weight wise.

Good Luck I know how family can be:)

I never had to go through that with Jordan, because he was PS. He does have some trouble gaining weight, but not to that extreme.

I just wanted to say that I couldn't agree more with Tami (izemmom) about EVERYTHING she said. I wish you the best, and hope that this procedure gets your baby where he needs to be to improve his health.

((((hugs))) to you.
