I think anyone with a difficult situation, who manages to keep a stiff upper lip with an ocassional smile and laugh at the vagaries of life, is doing well. CF is not alone in the hardships it creates. Every day, I do the best I can with the available energy, most days are usually pretty great. I take my hat off to all of those who struggle, and still persarvere in their own private way!

I am so blessed to be a Mom, and I absolutely agree that I am able to pass powerful gifts to my daughter. I worry from time to time that she has to watch me struggle (I don't just have CF), but I know that she has learned the value in helping others, spending time with her loved ones, and always telling people how she feels. I always tell her, that I believe that our family has knowledge that other families don't learn until much later.

We communicate very well and I think that we work together as a team wonderfully...and it is so nice to see that their are others who view this the same way as I do!

These are great! I'm not a mom yet, but will keep these words of wisdom close to me if I ever do become one <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

These posts really made my day and have served as a much-needed reminder that there are so many women out there who I can relate to and are going through similar situations!

I had my son (first one) 5 months ago and have been on antibiotics ever since trying to get my PFTs back up. I am beyond blessed that he is such an amazing baby and to have such a supporting husband, but I have been surprised at how hard it has been to get back to my 'healthy' stage post delivery. I also am very lucky that I am able to stay home with him. But I feel like I can't talk to any of my friends about the hard days because they look at me like 'You don't have to work, what could you possibly complain about?!?!' Long story short, I found these posts comforting and can relate to them all, so thank you ladies for sharing!

P.S. Mama Scarlett: a toddler, an infant, a neb treatment, and groceries all at once...you are pretty amazing!!

I don't know why but I just now got around to reading this thread. Makes me reflect and remember that we ARE tough and determined. I totally get about friends not understanding. I recently recommitted myself to my "role" as wife and mom and having a focused effort has really paid off as far as getting it all done (within reason of course!). I still feel sometimes I don't have enough time to do everything, especially just SITTING for a vest treatment, but I'm trying.

Mel - you can do it! I think most of us have been in your shoes and it can be done.

Teri - congrats on being pregnant again! I found my 2nd pregnancy to be the roughest. Not because the pregnancy was harder but I not only had to take care of myself but because I also had to take care of my son. And his needs had to come first. There were many days where I hardly ate. I was hungry but didn't have the energy to do anything about it. I remember wishing every day that I just had someone to cook for me. My mom would have done it but she was renovating one of their houses in another city (they live around the corner from me). Ah I digress.... Have a wonderful pregnancy!!!!
