Very sorry. A girl I went to high school with passed away this summer of CF, at age 27. I sincerely hope that by the time Eli reaches adulthood, medicine has advanced even more!
My question - even knowing there is medical intervention these days to allow CF patients to reach adulthood, do you find yourself afraid to dream of his future and the things he might be and do someday?
A side question - how do YOU, the parent, cope? I don't have kids and one thing that makes me think I could never have one is that I don't think I am strong enough to handle a major complication or illness in my child.
