more children

[Guest guest]

I was not going to get in on all of this but I cant resist. I was

dumbfounded when I read Becky A's post. But then as I re-read it I

agree with certain things. I would dearly have loved 4 children. But

we stopped after Eilish. We did not want any more children with Cf. We

tried PND but it didn't work for us. I know as a family we wouldn't

survive another child with Cf. Not to say we don't love miss bossy

boots with every fibre of ourselves (well maybe Liam doesn't). But my

heart is still broken from Eilish's dx, and mentally I no I couldn't

handle it. I don't dwell on the negatives and 95% of the time I don't

even think of her as a 'sick' child. But when that 5% of raw emotion

and hospital admissions hit, I know I couldn't handle it with another.

But for all who do, power to you, we all choose different paths. But

the difference between Becky A and I is that I would never judge anyone

for have more than 1 child with it. When I first joined I to was

shocked that people have more than 1 child with Cf, but that's because I

knew I couldn't do it. But I admire you all and you must be totally

buggered. So each to his/her own and lets all get on with it.
