Guest guest Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 The other night while tucking Josh 9 1/2 wcf into bed he said " Mom can I ask you something? " Of course I said yes. Well he says, is it true people w/cf can't have babies? I was floored. We are always honest with him about his disease. Okay maybe skewed towards the positive, but honest. I said to him why do you ask? Well low and hehold a little girl in his class, 4th grade, told him that people with CF can't have babies. She said her mother worked for a Dr, for 5 years and she knew it to be true. I just can't believe it. I felt so bad for him. Another thing to worry about. I told him that many wcf can't have babies but some can and that by the time he was ready to have a child I was sure that there would be a way. Then explained to him about invitro. Just what a 9 year old little boy want's to know or worry about. I have no way of knowing if the mom told this other child or she read it in a book. But why did she have to tell Josh. I know kids will be kids. I just needed to vent, URGH!!1 Thanks for listening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
