hey there!
i know its emotional because you and your family will carry as much as the disease as she will. I am a 27 yr old cfer and all i can say is treat her as if she was a healthy kid. Put it in her mind that she can do what ever she wants, incourage her to do things. Youll just have to be on the outside making sure that you keeps things and areas clean and germ free. Dont let her touch door knobs or be around people that are sick. Ya know the basics. My mother and father raised me as if i was a healthy child and in my mind, i was. i knew i had cf, but only as i got older realized the serverity of it. and i thank my family for that. Cause they let me live a FULL childhoold. They had to work overtime though to keep me healthy. to make sure i stay with treatments, doing PT, and keeping things clean. I will say this and i know this from exprience, it hasnt been a easy ride, but God doesnt put anything in your way you cant handle. Right when you think its too much, he will intervene. He has kept our family going through everything. Everything will be set up perfectly in order as if it was already planned, he will take over, what we cant handle. Dont give up hope because its the only thing we have. If you have any questions email me... TIPTIGER80@yahoo.com ill be happy to answer anything i can
