Pregnancy afterthoughts...

[Guest guest]

To all of you who wrote,

In my opinion you are all so right. In my case, we did not find out

until we had the three of them. In a lot of ways, it was a blessing

in disguise, because I probably would not have had anymore children,

had I known that a had cf. But, my reason would had been that I

would not have been able to take excellent care of a, which is

not true, I take care of the three of them just fine. Had I known

that a had cf, would I had made the decision to have an abortion,

hard to say, but probably not, due to my strong catholic beliefs. It

is all so incredibly personal, but I would not have changed anything

from my children, sure I wish every day that a would not have cf,

but on the other hand I have a unique relationship with my children

and we live everyday to the fullest. We enjoy our children more than

ever, because we know the are gifts and you have to treasure gifts.

There was an article on our newspaper today, about losing a child.

The reason for this Doctor to write about this subject was because he

has to deal with it all the time. One of those cases was the child

of a colleague. They had a 3 year old child, they went to Tahoe for

a vacation while they were there the child became very ill so they

brought the child back home. The baby had leukemia a very aggresive

type, he lasted less than a month.

So, the moral of the story is live life and enjoy it, and pray for

the cure.
