Thankyou for the kind welcome-Lee

Thankyou all for the kind welcome. I feel like family already!

Re: 's progress

is now 20 1/2 months and is 10kg.

Whe he was born the Dr's told me he would not catch up (to other kids his age)

size wise til he was at least 2 y.o. Now they're saying he should be caught up

already.

I'm not worried about his size at all. My whole family were skinny kids, my two

nephews (no CF) are both VERY skinny at 14 and 5 y.o. I realise it's important

to get weight on them, but sometimes I think the CF team forget how prem he was.

They have nothing to campare him to, cos he's the premiest Cf child so far in

Aust I'm told. Everytime the CF team vistit (every 3 months they come to a

local hospital in our town) I tremble. I am so scared they are going to say

he's too skinny. This visit the dietitian was ecstatic? She hadn't seen him for

6 months, and she remembers how little he was at 2 weeks. Sometimes I have to

tell little white lies regarding his feeding (I was advised to) he isnt that

crash hot with finger foods. He has never picked anything up off the carpet and

put it in his mouth! Unlike some kids who pick up everything. He still doesnt

eat a biscuit as fast as I'd like, but he gets there.

He has always sat perfectly still for Nebs and physio and when you walk into the

lounge with his syringes/meds he opens his mouth before you even sit down next

to him. I'm sure this wont last forever.

Thanks again for the kind words
