Last night while reading post, I felt relieved and like I was home.
My thoughts were that this place normalizes me. I was reading
"revealed polyps" post about her sons' third sinus
surgery and I felt normal and like I fit in. No one replied to her
that she over-reacts or must keep dirty bathrooms if her son keeps
getting sinus infections (yea, my sister-in-law offered to clean my
bathrooms to keep Josh well; I should have taken her up on it).
What I found was a place where people understand what I am going
through. I was way too tired to post after having school ally day
and I knew that even though people want to know what happened at
clinic no one would fault me for resting a day and posting later.
It is an unusual sense of family with people I've never met
personally but who understand probably more than most what my life
is like as the parent of a child with CF.<img alt="Heart" src=
