and Non-compliance

[Guest guest]

Hi List,

Well must be feeling a whole lot better, as she went camping with her

Girl Scout troop in the mountains this weekend. I offered to let her stay home,

as she is tiring easily, but she really wanted to go. SI let her, just told the

troop leader to let her sit out, if she needs to.

Anyway, I am curious if other parents, whose children were older when they were

diagnosed, experience a lot of compliance problems with their children? Again

this week, as I was doing laundry and cleaning up, I found a few small stashes

of pills was given to take and did not. And she does everything possible

to get out of the vest, nebs, etc.

As I have said a few billion times, was not diagnosed until she was in

first grade. She clearly remembers life " Before CF. " She has said to me on

several occasions that she does not think she needs it. And I wonder if

remembering " Before " isn't why she feels this way. (She didn't take it then,

and she was not terribly sick, so why does she need it now?)

How about it, does anyone else whose child was diagnosed later have a similar

response?
