would love support

[lilismom]

Carey,
I'd say welcome but this is not a place a parent would choose to be. That said it's a great place to get support and info - it has helped me deal with my daughters dx tremendously. She was also diagnosed relatively late - 3 and had a chronic cough. She was admitted to the hospital for 2 1/2 weeks and put on IV antibiotics. For about a year after dx she continued to cough quite a bit and her Dr wasn't sure what was causing it. Turns out she had sinus issues and now she on Flonase and doesn't cough as much.

I hope your son is feeling better soon.

I have a 21 year old with CF. (Son 22 and daughter 17 without CF). My experience, learn everything you can and do your best to stay strong for your baby... This is hard but do-able one step at a time... My daughter was 5 when diagnosed;this was not a test during pregnancy back then. Jennifer has had her gall bladder removed, 15 sinus surgeries, and 5 fundoplications-2 laproscopically and 3 not. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0"> Please stay strong;I'm not good at this myself, but I believe it is the only way to get through the long haul...

Carey,

I'm so sorry to hear about Rickie's diagnosis, hopefully he'll be on the road to better health now. My daughter was diagnosed at age 6 also. I know how it feels to go without answers fo so long. All I can say is that it does get easier. Hope your little guy is feeling better.
HUGS to you and your family.
Liz
