Guest guest Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 I totally understand where you are coming from. I think that was part of how I felt, too. Sue Pettit mom to (17 wocf) driving and being the most responsible 17 yo I have ever seen, (13 wocf) playing football, band, and whatever else he can get into, and (11 wcf) into all sports, running full speed doing all she can and still doing great---diagnosed at 8 days of age at LeBonheur Childrens Medical Center in Memphis, Tennessee, now seeing Doctor Lyrene (and other wonderful folks of course) at UAB Children's Hospital Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 When I found out my son had CF people around us probably thought that I didn't cry because I felt that I had to pull myself together for my son. I refused to cry infront of Jack. He is a beautiful baby and I refused to cry about such a blessing. I did cry in private away from Jack where he wouldn't know that I was upset. Sometimes I still do but because I was breastfeeding him and no one else could take this over - he really needed me - I couldn't just shut down to deal with my grief.

I think she was too sad to cry, if that's possible. I tried hiding from her for the first day and a half because I didn't want to upset her with all of my incontrollable sobbing. Abby turns two this December. She is doing REALLY well. Gale Grandma to Abby (almost 2 years old wcf) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
