My parenting style would defintely not change, and I would actually clean MORE because I would have more time to do so. I reflected on this question before I answered, and decided the best way to respond is to list what I would NOT do at all, if my daughter didn't have CF.
<br />
<br />In the past 24 hours I would NOT have:
<br />administered 7 breathing treaments (its a TOBI month!)
<br />patiently waited out the temper tantrum before last night's breathing treatments
<br />administered 2 vest sessions
<br />boiled 7 nebs
<br />looked for her "enzyme purse" at school this morning to refill it
<br />picked up two prescriptions from a very out of the way pharmacy that can compound Urso and also will carry brand name enzymes
<br />explained to my mom why I'm not considering growth hormones for Katy at this time
<br />wondered whether I should give her one or two enzymes before she ate a small ice cream cone (will she really eat ALL of it?)
<br />exchanged e-mails and phone calls regarding something I'm organizing for our Great Strides walk
<br />administered other meds, etc.
<br />
<br />I have no idea what I used to do with this extra time I <i>apparently</i> had before CF. Kinda like once you have kids, and you wonder what on earth you did with all of that free time! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif" border="0">
