I am also new here. I have looked at blogs and threads off and on the past couple of years. My name is Bethany and I am 20 years old. I have a boyfriend who I have been dating for 2 years who loves to learn and understand more and more about cf. I have 2 younger sisters who both do not have cf. One is seventeen and a senior in high school. I also have a three year old sister that was a complete shock and surprise to all of us but it would not be the same without her she is amazing and adorable!! My parents are amazing...so amazing!!! When I was about eight years old my dad told my mom that she should be a nurse so they could understood more about cystic fibrosis. My mom was opening up a daycare so she could be there to take care of me and so my dad became a nurse. He worked on the adult unit with cf for about 9 years and is now a lung transplant coordinator. He absolutely loves being a nurse and learning more and more about the disease. He always says that he knew children would change his life but he had no idea. He also is involved with vest companies and would drill/annoy/make and sure patients were doing vest, eating, taking enzymes and all the fatherly things that a dad with cf says. He could relate to most people he took/takes care of because he had me. I used to think he was annoying but know am greatful for everything he has done for me. I am in my second year of college and as most people I talk to have no idea what I want to do with my life. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> I hope that this forum will be helpful and I hope I can help other people!
