PEmpty pill capsules are found in your couch cushions.
You have sonar ears and can hear a person coughing from a mile away.
Sanitizer no longer burns on your paper cuts.....it feels good...
The bottom of your purse is enzymes instead of loose change...
You steel salt and butter packets..."oooooh travel size " you think
Rooms become quarantined when there is a bowel movement in your house
You let your kid eat the butter out of the dish....so
Doing chest PT puts you to sleep too....
Your friends call you when their kid is sick instead of their own pediatrician
You have stock in pharmaceutical companies.
Poop is a topic of conversation on a daily basis... texture, color, consistency... ugh
Inhalers are also toy guns
People think your nuts when you congratulate your kid for coughing up a big mucus ball into their hand...
You force your kid to eat dessert but not supper.
You leave a pharmacy with a shopping cart and usually someone to help you unload scripts into your car.
Your little one requires a suit case and a parent orientation when having a babysitter or a sleep over.
You don't see fruit and veggies as a necessity anymore... but cheese and cream are a must have in your house! (Wonder why I AM gaining weight? hmmmm)
You worry about how to decorate a hospital room instead of their own room<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">
You vacation around CF clinics.....
You ask for a cheek swab on a first date....(What? two CF carriers make another CF kid)
Being a CF parent can be heart breaking at times and can last a while if you let it, staying strong, organized and thinking clearly can help you appreciate how wonderful life really is and move on to the good times with your little one instead of dwelling on the hard times. Its easier said then done... I know all too well. My prayers go out to not only CFers but to parents of CFers too...
Live, LAUGH, love! What a cliche<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
