Dear All:
Thank you so much for answering my questions and your continued support of me and my husband as we go through this journey waiting on our precious Abby to get here in August. All of the information you have provided has been of tremendous benefit and has helped us gain some perspective going into this next part of our journey together.
I have a research project that I have to complete for one of my graduate classes. I discussed my passion for this topic and stated that I had a personal need to continue my research. My professor allowed me to make this my in class research project instead fo making me focus on something new. THANK GOODNESS...as I didn't know what I could research right now that would mean as much to me.
If you have time and do not mind, would you please answer the following questions for me:
1. Once you learned a child had CF, what questions did you want or need answered immediately to help put your mind at ease? Did you get answers? Would you mind sharing?
2. What do you wish you knew when your child was first diagnosed or when you found out they had CF that you now know?
3. What was the biggest surprise or challenge for you and your family?
4. Do you have any words of wisdom for someone who is facing a CF diagnosis in a child?
If you would please provide me: The age of the child when diagnosed, their relationship to you (child, grandchild, niece, etc.), and additional pertinent information you feel you should add about the child's situation.
I do not need names or any specific information about you or your family.
If you prefer to email the information to me, please email me at ejwiegert@gmail.com with RESEARCH in the subject line so I don't delete it!
I greatly appreciate your time and efforts on my behalf!!!

PS: If you are on some of the listserves with me, you'll see this request again. I just need a wide range of responses to make my research valid and reliable. THANK YOU AGAIN!
