Guest guest Posted January 9, 2001 Report Share Posted January 9, 2001 , I am with on this, there is no way I would let them do that to me while I'm awake. The thought of it makes me feel like fainting! Barry Re: I want to have another child Barry, When he went to get the referral and the dr. suggested that he could do it in the surgery nearly fainted. He said he needed to be totally knocked out. He even got knocked out once to have two fillings! But when it comes to do suppositories or boogie sucking or anything for Eilish (except taking her to theatre) he's great. I'll let you know how he survives.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2001 Report Share Posted January 9, 2001 Barry, you opened yourself up to this one..... Can you imagine, just for ..let's say 24 hours or so... your guts turning inside out....then your most private of parts, that is, it used to be private, before anyone with a glove and a tube of lubricant decided they wanted to take a look, starts to stretch to about the size of a soccer ball, and while the whole room watches and cheers a human being is expelled. AND YES, WE STAY AWAKE FOR THE ENTIRE PROCESS...and are actually quite proud if we can say we did it all without any drugs...... suck it up big boy....you can handle it and maybe that sweet woman in your life will bring you an ice cream when it's all over.....remember no crying in Baseball... Good Luck better opt for the Friday appt so you can take the weekend to recover.... mj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2001 Report Share Posted January 10, 2001 Hello, We found out that our daughter Gwendolynn (now 7) had CF until just after her 5th birthday. By that time I already had my tubes cut. We decided before Gwendolynn was born that we would only have one child. CF was not involved in that decision. All came up after the diagnose of Gwendolynn. De doctor focussed our attention on having IVF to get an other, healthy, child. For this procedure no tubes needed! We were 35 en 36 at that time, so age was no problem. But we had considered our decision to have only one child very carefully. We worked both and my husband is in the navy and a lot of the time not at home. So there should be enough time for the child left. We just thought about it one day and that said to eachother that our decision still stood. No more children! When times are not as good and I was up most of the nights for a week or so, I really think this is a good decision. I just think I could not handle more children, even as they did not have CF. But all people have to decide for themselves and I shall never criticize someone who wants more children (even if they have CF). I love Gwendolynn very much and cannot imagine to not have known her! What worries me the most is not the length of her life (or ours), but the quality of it. CF has not affected her much yet, but who knows what the future will bring. One advantage of having one child is, that you can have some time for yourself. When my husband takes care of Gwendolynn, I can do something else and have no other children to attend to. CF has changed our lives. Some things are more important, other less. Our careers are over. My husband is still in the navy, but does not have to go to sea anymore. This also means that he will not get a higher rank. I changed my job for a lighter one, in our hometown. I also have a business of my own. I cut that by half. So we have more time to enjoy life with Gwendolynn. I don't think this things hurt us in any way! As I said some things are not as important as they seemed before. Best regards, Tine Zwaan, mother of Gwendolynn 7 wcf from Holland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
