As a parent of a CFer I was pissed off.<P>The only redeeming value of the show was that they showed an adult having CF which may bring a little more awareness that this is not just a kid's disease - I think the vast majority of people still think all CFers die very young. Other than that there were too many inconsistencies.My thought was that they developed a story line they wanted to do (father having to choose between two sick kids) and then threw a disease in there that might work with that story line (it didn't work).

Pam, that was my take too. It wasn't the tear jerker I thought it would be, because it just seemed too unrealistic. :shrug:

I will say it brought some attention and awareness to CF, but it was a bit over the top with the immediate death sentence and statements to that affect --- if you go in there you will die.
However, I DO hope my MIL watched the show 'cuz so far she just doesn't seem to get our concerns regarding infection control, cross contamination, etc.
