Hi Brook.
I'm always sad to hear about a new member on here. Even though I think it is a great place for people dealing with CF, it especially saddens me to hear of new diagnoses.

I'm very happy to hear that you have such a great attitude, though. It took me about 6 months to go from being quite pessimistic about the whole situation to being very optimistic about the future. I still have a bad day every once in awhile, as I'm sure everyone does.

I just wanted to share one of the best things that was said to me after DS was born. And that is to treat him like a baby, first and foremost. Enjoy him! I'm not sure if this is your first child, but I really do think it helps both you and your child to treat him just as normal as you would a child without CF. The only difference in our children (we have a CFer and a non-CFer), is that our CFer does his treatments and meds every day, which quickly turned into just another part of our daily routine.

I wish you well and please don't hesitate to ask questions on here. I have found this site and the people VERY helpful.

Brooke: Hi there! We too experienced the same type situation when Holly Ann was born. We had prayed for a little girl since we already had a wonderful little boy and our prayer was answered. We have a beautiful little girl who is the apple of our eyes. My family and I went to our state fair here in Louisiana today and I looked around at all of the little ones there and saw many that were in worse shape than our little one and I thanked God for giving us a little girl that requires some extra work but will be able to live a fulfilling life. Holly Ann also takes creon5 and axid along with source cf vitamins.
She is 16 months old and doing very well, a very loving little girl who has a soft spot for any kind of animal out there. She did not like cpt at first but has been sleeping through nebs and cpt for 10 months or so now. Good Luck and blessings to you guys. Kristan
