Guest guest Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 JC broke my heart last night. He wouldn't come to me when it was time to do " pat-pats " . I asked him several times and he wouldn't come get in my lap. So I sent him to his room for a few minutes and then called him back out. He climbed up in my lap and said " When I get so big, I won't have to do pat-pats anymore. " Oh, I wanted so bad to tell him he was right. Instead I had to explained how he will always have to do pat-pats but one day maybe he would have a vest to make it easier.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 This is so touching. Last night we were eating and my older son and I were talking about high cholesterol. Little wanted to know if his cholesterol was high. I told him, no, people with cf need extra calories and fat and they don't have high cholesterol. He asked, " When my cf is gone will I have high cholesterol? " I started to answer him, but then stopped. Could I really bring myself to say it would never be gone? No. I could not. I said, even when they find a way to treat your lungs, so they don't have so much mucus, you will still probably have some digestion problems and will need enzymes and extra calories. It was just a little conversation, but I still have a little ache in my heart remembering it. Lenora >JC broke my heart last night. He wouldn't come to me when it was time to do > " pat-pats " .
