I have been checking out the forums for awhile now and have found alot of useful info. I just joined a few weeks ago and this is my first time entering anything. I am from a small town where I know no one with CF, and its nice to know that there are others out there who are experiencing the same fears and uncertainities as I sometimes do. The doctors here are always eager to "get their hands on me" since my condition is a rariety in my area. I am 33 years old and I have 2 boys w/o CF (i thank God everyday for that blessing). I have a wonderful husband whom I don't know what I'd do w/o him and his support. My brother is 39 and he also has CF but he lives in CA and Im in Va, so its not always easy to get in touch with him. My boys are now 8 and 11. My question is this, at what age are they capable of handling the details of my disease?? I don't want to overwhelm them but at the same time I want to be honest about the way things could go as I get older. I am also diabetic, as if CF wasn't enough!! How much should then know and at what age??? You experience with this will help me greatly. This place is like my safe place......thanks for letting me share!!!!<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">
