I sure hope she starts feeling better soon.

When it comes to the pain you and Maureen are feeling I understandably completely.
There is not a worse feeling in the world than to see your child in pain.
I'm not just saying this to try and make you feel better,
I really do understand. Kendall, our oldest daughter has cystic fibrosis. When she gets sick, and ends up in the hospital I would give anything to trade places with her.

I sure pray for your daughter to feel better, and look forward to reading a post from you some day soon that says all is well.

Thanks,Rich I appreciate it. How old is your daughter?

After being married for 33 years,we have had a few bumps in the road like everyone else,but dealing with this has been the worst.

Kendall is 23 years old. She was diagnosed when she was only hours old.
The doctors told us she probably would not live past her teens. Well the fight in her and the support of the rest of our family has prooved all of them to be wrong. 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.
