DS has the same mutation. We had no idea he had CF until he was born with a bowel obstruction. Sure we have some extra things we have to do to keep him healthy -- meds, cpt/vest and nebulizer. But he's a busy active 5 year old invovled in all kinds of activities -- gymnastics, baseball, preschool... I guess I wouldn't consider him "special needs" at all. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> Feel free to ask questions, you'll find a WEALTH of information here. Many of us have gone thru similar experiences and can offer insight, suggestions... Welcome.

I caught your post late in the game, but I'm so glad to hear your decision. Both of my children have CF, but you'd never know unless we told you. They're both healthy active, crazy kids that are the joy in our lives! The hardest thing to adjust to is getting your routine down. Like others have said, therapy (which takes about 20 min.), pills before eating & nebs - it all becomes second nature, and getting a handle on things when they're young will help the fight in the long run. Many blessings to you and your family!
