Hello everyone,

I want to thank all of you for all the wonderful support you have given to my daughter (Christi) and her husband (Chad). Your valuable information is very important to all of us. At this time i believe all of us are in the mode of educating ourselves on CF. I especially love the adorable pictures of all your angels!

To my daughter, I am so very proud of you and your strength! I love you very much!

To Chad, without you my daughter would not have that strength! My love to you also!

Hi everyone,

Sorry it took so long to get back but very busy working and getting ready for my daughters baby shower on Saturday.

I want to thank all of you for your support and valuable information. I believe the best way to deal with any problem is to research and learn as much as you can.

My other granddaughter will be 5 in December. I was curious as to when she should be informed about CF.

Thanks again and all of you are fantastic!

My 5 year old knows that her brother has a 'special' sick that he cannot get rid of, but that nobody can get it from him. She knows that he has special Drs to help us make him grow up strong and healthy. She also went to our appts with us so that she can understand what he is going through (before she started school). We also try to explain the need for good handwashing and keeping things clean and dry so that all of us can stay healthy. When it comes to sibling rivalry, they are normal. They fight like regular brother and sister, which is non stop. But when Cale is not feeling well, she becomes the most compassionate and caring sister. We won't tell her the extent of his illness until she can fully understand and comprehend it.

Take it slow and as with any newborn, make her feel like a special part of his life. It is so easy to get wrapped up in an ill child that the other will feel quite left out. I try to make a girls night out with my daughter once in a while too. She told me that her favorite part of helping me cook dinner is just being with me. <img src="i/expressions/rose.gif" border="0">

Welcome Nana,
Your post makes me miss my mom more than ever. She's been gone almost 20 years. We lost her when Emily was 2-1/2 so Emily's memories of her are really only very vague and more likely just the stories she has heard over the years. Christi and Chad are lucky you are here for them and their little one! <img src="i/expressions/angel.gif" border="0"><img src="i/expressions/angel_ani.gif" border="0">
