Re: Another Pseudomonas Question

Jen,

I don't know if the preemie w/out CF can get PA from your child but

I do know that even if she does, it's not your fault! You todl the

mother of the PA and she checked into it. It's her decision from here

what she wants to do. You aren't purposely not telling her about the

PA just so you two can hang out so don't beat yourself up. Kids pass

EVERYTHING to eachother. Not much we can do about it except lock

everyone up in plastic bubbles. She'll be ok
