Well, I suppose you could all arrive and help her and tell her that she

cannot say

" No! " to this offer!

Love to you all,

feeling helpless-thank you

> You are the BEST! Thank you for your thoughts and suggestions. But, thank

you most of all for your honesty. I can feel your frustrations as you talk

about how difficult the mornings are, etc., trying to fit things in and

trying to maintain a " normal " life. I am sure my sister is feeling exactly

the same way. Even if she doesn't realize it, yet, I am glad to know that

other people feel the same way.

> Those that said she probably isn't ready, I hope that's true. I hope she

will, in time, be ready to accept some emotional support from others in the

same position. The walk was a great thought but the website said the walks

for '04 won't be posted til March. I hope I remember.

> As for Thanksgiving, it is at HER house, as it is every year, which is why

I am so worried. I even suggested cancelling but she WANTS to do it. We've

been having it there for years because it's too much for my mom. My brother

drives up with his family and stays with my mom and we drive down. Dinner is

at my sister's.Thanksgiving day will probably be fine, but she has to do all

the shopping and prep work. My mom has osteoporosis and can't do much, tho I

know she'll do what she can. I live too far to do the shopping. I will

certainly do my share once we get there but I just worry she will be on

overload. However, it's her choice and it will hopefully be ok. I will take

all of your suggestions and try not to talk about 's condition at all.

I will keep it on hold for now.

Having Thanksgiving at your sisters house gives her control over something, and

a sense of normalcy. There's not much she can control about CF (other than

doing what has to be done) but she can make the Thanksgiving meal and be in

charge. Also it might be a comfort to her to have the holiday meal as usual.

(as in " CF doesn't have to completely change everything, look we are having

turkeyday at our house, just like we always do " )

Pitch in and help, I'm sure she will appreciate it.

Have a great holiday with your family!
