RE: visitors and handwashing and worring HOLLY

[Guest guest]

Holly,

I used to be really worried about all that, but as she grew up I

realised that I couldn't protect her from everything. Also what would

happen when she is older and you take her to visit someone else, how can

you be sure they are clean? I think its a balance of being normal,

living life, and trying our best to keep them healthy. Sorry I wasn't

much help

visitors and handwashing and worring

I was wondering what everyone else does concerning visitors and CF

children.

I would like all visitors coming into our home to wash their hands. I

also

would like anyone wanting to hold or play with my daughter to wash their

hands as well. Is that crazy or is that what everyone else does?

Everytime

another child plays with her toys or touches her I think " is that child

sick....they don't look sick....I wish they wouldn't touch her....what

if

they give her a cold......I will be so mad..... " and on and on. I worry

every time someone comes near. Is that normal? Am I paranoid? Is it

unnecessary to have everyone wash their hands? I am loosing my mind

thinking

about bacteria and virus's...........
