Amanda, I'm ROTFLMAO over the putting on your big girl panties statement.
I do not doubt that its hard on my parents and my ILs over my daughters diagnosis -- as much as its hard on any of the extended family around here. But like all the other caregivers around here, we are dealing with CF on a daily basis -- not when its convenient to step out of denial for a few minutes. We don't get the luxery of forgetting about CF, evey day we have to think about treatments, and germs, and doctor's appointments, and moving schedules in case of hospitalizations, etc. etc. I don't think its too much to ask the grandparents to do a little reading or seek some answers so that we don't have to add educating the immediate world to our daily tasks. My mother hasn't stopped trying to help, I just wish my MIL would take a little interest!
