Hello Tiffanystar,
How are you? I have a 23 month old son Joshua with cf. We found out when he was 6 months old. At first I was scared, wanted to find out as much information about cf as I could so I have been looking on the internet. I also have been wanting ti talk with people who has cf, or has a child with cf to see what they have been through. I know everyone will not go through everything that someone has. My son had brain surgery at 7 months old, he had hydrocephalus, which is when the fluid around the brain does not drain down the spinal canal the way it should. Joshua had a shunt put in. Then when Joshua was 17 months old he had two different surgeries done at the same time. One was to stop the acid reflex, and the other part was to put a feeding tube in his stomach. Josh gains slow, and would not eat. Now he is eating more, not the amount for a 23 month old, but it is a start. Weighs 19 pounds 29 inches. Joshua and my first cousin are the only ones in my family with cf. I have 2 other kids. Joshua is a miracle baby. I cut tied and burned my tubes in 1997. I still got pregnant. If you would like to be cf penpals here is my e-mail address: matlockw@bellsouth.net My name is Renee
