It has been a very expensive and emotional 23 years, but in a weird way I think it made all of us stronger. Three years ago she got married and also made us grandparents. She now works for me at our shop. We decided that would work out good for her because she has been let go from other jobs in the past for missing time due to illness.

Again your daughter, yourself, and your wife are in our prayers.
My sister sons has cystic fibrosis too, and the doctors said he also would not live past his teens. He is now 33 so I hope this gives you some hope. Like you said a support system in our family has got him through and advances in the disease has helped. MS also runs in our family so it looks like we are all dealing with some of the same issues. A support team is what gets us through the rough days.
