Hello

I have spoken to your DD charleesunnysunsun My oldest DS also has CF (he is 14.) I hope your GS is doing ok, and Charlee too.

You sound like you have SO much on your plate! It sometimes seems as if some families get all the "luck" (although am sure that's not the case really.) I am responsible for my dad who is elderly and disabled with a lot of needs, DH has arthritis and is reg disabled, DS1, as I said, has CF and DS2, age 6 has cerebral palsy and a long list of other things.

I didn't know this section was here either until I saw your other thread so thanks for pointing me in this direction!

I hope you get some support (other than from me!)
