Can I chime in now that I'm awake <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

I honestly don't think we could have done medical special needs adoptions if DH weren't so involved. I do stay home, and homeschool the kids. And, I am a former nurse, so my knowledge base for their medical conditions started out stronger. But, he does night duty for all but nursing babies. He keeps abreast of the research on Hemophilia *and* CF. He keeps medical records organized. And yes, he does M's evening treatments as well as the bulk of our other son's infusions. He scares away the monsters, tells the Princess stories and rocks the toddler to sleep at night.

He can't come to every doctor's appointment, but he's there for important ones. And, he stays 100% informed and abreast of medical protocal, treatment and concerns on all of the kids.

And yet, as you can see, he's always surprised when people praise him for being such a good father. He just thinks that's what a father is SUPPOSED to do. He's right. But, its sad that not all do so. Every kid deserves a dad who loves them unconditionally and advocates for them at all costs.

(And yes, he's telling the truth. He is VERY addicted to this board, lol. )

Just wanted to jump on the "hooray for great daddies" wagon! Emily had just about the best Daddy a kid could want, too. He does the early, early morning treatment during the school year. (now that it's summer he's doing the late, late one). He's the guy when it comes to getting her set up for her overnight feeding, and he can switch out a MicKey button like nobody's business (pretty good for a guy who's squeamish about blood and "raw" skin...).

Like Liza's guy, he's not one to read or post on here, although he no longer rolls his eyes at me when I tell him about something that's happening here. But he's more than comfortable going to clinc visits without me, does most of the daytime dr. appointments, has always been an equal diaper changer, bath giver, meal prepper...

It's great to have a good one...,

Thanks to the CF Dads who do hang out here. YOu bring a much needed perspective!

I must say that I agree - hooray to great Dad's, friends, spouses, etc. My Dad did not do all that much of the "hands on" work with me and my CF. He worked alot because we had such a huge family, but we never felt he would not do anything in the world for us. (There were 11 kid's in our family - only me with CF) One day near the end of his life he was trying to decide what he wanted to "give" each of us before he passed away. He called me and asked me if there was something of his that I wanted. I told him that he had already given me the greatest gift a father could give a child - EVERY single day when I woke up, I knew that my parents loved me. I personally think that is the greatest gift of all. I was lucky to have a great Dad (and Mom)

I'm jealous lol.

My daughters dad never helped with any treatments and doesn't even participate in her life and has never even paid for any medical expenses let alone pay maintenance.

It would be nice for her to have a dad who cares instead of the big baby for a dad that she has.

Keep up the good work all you caring dads out there.

and the spouses of cfers I hope you spoil them with heapz of love n caring.

I hope that one day my daughter will be able to find a husband or b/f that won't run away when it all gets too hard, because she deserves way better than that.
