IVs with 2 children...

The foster agency where we are training right now offer respite care, which is another foster home that will babysit your foster kids while you need them to. You have to give a 48 hour notice unless it is an emergency. So my hospital visits would be taken care of, or if my mother or mother in law wants to do some training they could keep them for me...

Hey Jenny,

Don't be so hard on yourself.. Most often ppl get used to having one child, then adapt to the second one.. Anyone w/ more than one child can tell you going from 1 to 2 children is a hugh difference..

You did it all at once, i think an extremely hard thing to do..

I know your heart was in the right place and that you are doing your best for the boys, but maybe it may be to much for you to handle..

I hope that you and your husband can sit down and discuss everything and do what's best for YOU. I know this might sound selfish, but w/o you what would everyone do? I am only saying this because you went from nothing to two..

If you are having doubts about having the boys and think you may not be able to continue then i think the longer you have the boys the harder it will be for everyone.. <img src="i/expressions/brokenheart.gif" border="0">

Please know i am saying not any of this to hurt you. I feel that you are reaching out for help and maybe need some different perspective on things. This is only my point of view and i could be totally wrong...

Maybe if the boys are not the right fit, you can think about going w/ one child when you feel up to it..

Please PM me if you want to talk.. Feel better and God Bless you.. <img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0"> joni

I'm sorry you didnt get any better and had to go on iv's. With the subject of kids and having cf yourself , its a hard decision. I can certainly understand the desire to be a mom , but is the possibility realistic that you can juggle motherhood and your health, without one or the other suffering? I myself decided long ago not to have children and that was when i was much much healthier and my cf was mild. Now years later, down the road i know it was the right choice for me. My heath isnt as good as it was years ago and the thought of a child or even a teenager running around rigth about now seems like an impossible situation for me.
Luckily for me what helped make the decision against kids was a few of my friends had children young. I also had a lot of babysitting jobs and that taught me lot. Yes babies can be fun and lovable, but its always easier when at the end of the day you go home and the job is done. Babysitting was exhausting for me even with 100% lung function, so i kind of knew there would be no way i could deal with it if i had my own child. For me the decision was the right one. I can only imagine how torn you must feel at this point. One thing you must remember is to do whats right for you. Your heath may be at stake.... and you can not allow your health to be in constant jeopardy, thats just too risky. It may be time for you and your hubby to sit down like someone else said and talk this through and weigh your options.

I really feel that what I am experiencing now is MUCH HARDER than experiencing a pregnancy because I just keep getting hit from all angles, whether it's from the 3.5-year-old, the county, or whoever else...I'm not saying that being pregnant isn't hard, but this is so much more than I ever could have imagined...


I agree. My first baby cried A LOT and needed to be held or nursed every moment he was awake. He didn't like the bouncy seat, swing, pacifier or careseat. Pregnancy was lovely in comparison. In fact, I remember once having a wacky post-partum dream that I stuffed my son back inside of me because I wanted to go hiking with some friends. It wasn't very graphic...more like magic LOL.

I wish I could tell you some useful advice. I have not been on IV's. I get a lot of exacerbations but they still go away with oral abs...at least for a couple weeks. I think I once told you how when I was sick, I fell asleep on my floor and left my small kids unsupervised. It was very upsetting to me to wake up and think of all the horrible things that could have happened to them while I was passed out at two in the afternoon.

I think we often push ourselves too much because we want to feel as normal as possible and don't want to admit to those we love that our health problems are as big as they are. Taking on two special needs children would be a huge ordeal for a perfectly healthy person. You need to discuss a lot with your husband and doctor.

((HUGS))
