We live in a tourist type area. We have a nice family who is renting a house next to us for 3 weeks. I talked to the parents yesterday, they have 2 kids close to my kids age so it's great; they can play together, both sets of children are psyched. So Maggie who is 4 1/2 going on 30 knocks on their door(while I peeked out the window) and invites herself over. Did I mention Maggie is outgoing and has tons of self-confidence. We go over, me Sammy and Maggie and talk to the kids and mom for a while; they are really nice. Maggie saw they had bananas(which she loves, but I often don't buy them because she gets really constipated from them) Plus she needs an enzyme for them, only bananas, not other fruit or veggies; and I forgot the enzymes. She got her banana, I slipped Maggie an enzyme when we walked back home. I am always VERY open about Maggie's CF. I just didn't feel like getting into it at that moment. I'm sure tomorrow if we get together for going to the beach, I tell them cause when she has lunch she'll need her enzymes. It's just wierd how CF is always there, even when you're not thinking about it, it's just there. I guess this post is more of a blog but I can't figure out how to blog<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

Hi Rebecca,
It's so true! I don't go around telling people right off the bat about Andrew's CF. I figure that information is for friends when the time is right. But sometimes, if Andrew is having a particularly junky day, I feel "THE LOOK"..Those mom's at school, grandparents in the grocery store, etc, who think you have made your child leave the comfort of their home during the worst respiratory infection of their lives, infecting the rest of the population...those looks make me feel like I need to explain. Then I get really frustrated with myself for feeling like I need to explain! Have you ever "apologized" for your child's cough? I did that a couple of times when Andrew was younger and felt really guilty afterward.. What a message to send Andrew. I've gotten over that!

Tonya,
One time I remember, Maggie was having a flare-up of her CF, coughing(she needed antibiotics at that time, maybe I was waiting for her culture to come back). We were picking up Sammy at school and Maggie had this dry cough. A woman came up to me and said her son had the same cough and "have I tried this new mucinex medicine, it helped her son's cough right away" At the time I was really stressed out, I think I was really irritated at the woman, who was ony trying to be nice. I might have even rolled my eyes, like are you kidding me. Of course, I could have talked about CF and such but I was so stressed out.

My mom took me out in the winter once to go shopping with her. I was a baby, and I was just doing my normal coughing. But some old codger felt the need to tell her she was a horrible mother for taking her baby out in the cold weather with "that cold." I wish I had been older, I'd have told him to suck it.
