Re: Introducing Lee, Craig & baby (wcf) P1

[Guest guest]

So how is he doing now? How much does he weight? I have a nephew that was

born at 29 weeks. He weight 3lbs. 1 oz. he is 5 years old to day and doing

great!! He doesn't have CF but he still is a little guy. It is hard enough to be

born early but to have CF to has got to be a challenge for him. I have three

daughters and 2 of them have cf. We live in Iowa. Deb A

Introducing Lee, Craig & baby (wcf) P1

Wow, where do i start?

This is the most amazing Cf Network of friends I've seen yet.

My name is Lee (short for Leanne) I am 33 and live in Western Australia. I

am originally from , but have been in WA sine 1988. I came over to

visit my brother and met a bloke named Craig. Craig has been married with 3

kids wocf, although he doesnt get to see them. We were together 6 months

and moved in together. I had been told for 8 years I could not conceive and

have had cervical cancer twice!

In Sept 2001 I was in pain and after an ulstrasound saw the little

flickering peanut as they called it. Neddless to say we were dumbfounded.

I had a terrible pregnancy and was also hounded with HUNDREDS of phone calls

everyday from his x wife.

At 6 months I had pre eclampsia (swelling and very high blood pressure) I

spent alot of time in a nearby Private Hospital where I also worked at front

reception so it goes without saying, I was family and they looked after me

like a VIP.

At 30.4 weeks I had 4++ of protein in my urine and one Feb 3rd 2002 I was

flown to Perth to have my Baby by caesar at 8 pm. Just as they wheeled me

in to thaatre they said there was another lady downstairs whos baby had a

slim chance, and that because my baby had steroid injection I had a good

chance of a perfectly healthy child. So I let them go help her.

Craig had me laughing non stop with the help of a very funny anaesthetist.

I didnt even feel the epidural, it was like a mosquito bite! Then at

10.30pm they took me in to have him. As soon as tehy made the incision,

OWWWWCH! I felt it and it burnt. So they knocked me out. This is the

hardest part about the psych problems I have today. I didnt get to see my

boy til he was 12 hours old. Boy was he cute, they made out he was going to

look like an alien. He was totally normal, just very little. 1305g 2lb

14oz 40cm long and 27cm head. He had the cutest little button nose and

perfect thin cupids bow lips like me. I said Hello Little Kuda! (Kuda is

Craigs nickname it means MATE in Aboriginal!) I decided straight away that

I wanted to call him , and although Craig didnt like it at firs he said

Yep it is. My Mum and Dad AND Brother (who has 2 kids) flew over from

to see us. They were so happy. Mum and Dad are just crazy for

Grand kids

Hi Lee,

I'm Terri from Hobart - originally from Sydney. We moved here nearly

10 yrs ago.

How is your little precious boy doing? Is he on enzymes or any other

meds? My Ainslie now 11 didn't have many drugs other than enzymes till

she was 3 1/2, then nasal polyps came into play and now most of the

issues she has are due to them. We started accupuncture this morning

to see if that makes a difference. She has only been hospitalised for

nasal polyps, nothing else. My son Connor who is 7 no cf, has had more

hospital time than Ainslie for an unusual disk inflamation.

It must be hard to be so far away from your folks at this time. Here

on the internet we can help with advice and support. I've never been

to WA - meant to a few times but life has gotten in the way. We'll be

in SA for xmas at the in-laws (or as so appropriately says

out-laws.

My most valuable piece of advice that I can give you is go with your

gut feeling about your child. You are the one who best, not a

doctor, not a relative or friend. Learn all that you need to know to

about CF - at times you may not want to know all the nitty gritty

details- but it will put you in a great position with doctors.

If I can help at all my email addy that I look at regularly is

tmfox@.... Welcome and goodluck.

Terri

from Hobart mum to Ainslie 11 wcf and Connor 7 no cf.

Lee,

Welcome to the group. I could not read the posts last week, so I am

little late in welcoming you. I think that your post ended before

you reached the end of your story. I look forward to reading the

next post from you.

I have a 20 month old grand daughter with cf. Her name is Abigail.

She is SO PRECIOUS!

I look froward to getting to know you better. I am glad that you

have joined us.
