Re: kids and smarts and cystic fibrosis

[Guest guest]

My mother-in-law had a cf child also. She says that kids with cf are

smarter than others. Don't know as I can say yet about my own since

he's only 8mo (today) but he was also one month early and the Infant

/ Toddler Program ladies say he's right on course for his development

based on his birth date vs. his due date.

Just my two cents (or rather my mil's two cents).

Crystal mom to Adam 8mo, le 3yrs next month. She excited to have

her " Happy Birthday Party!! " (and inviting everyone she sees!)
