Me and Trinity: What a cutie! Chest PT on a baby: The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation discourages any contact among CF patients. Personally, I think this is overreacting at its best. Yes, some precautions need to be taken, but it has been blown totally out of proportion. I am writing this because the other night at Concert on the Square I held Trinity. Her mom handed her over to me, and we were talking and then she told me that Trinity has CF. I asked if I should take precautions and her mom said that it was okay for me to interact with her - and I feel that as long as the parent says it's okay, it's okay with me. And I did her chest pt - and it was a nice break for the parents. They have three children under three and two of them have CF. They have a 3-year-old with CF, an 18-month-old without, and Trinity, 2-months-old, with CF. If any family needs a break it's this one. I have always wanted to work with CF kids - and I know how much the CF Foundation would have nothin...

Glad you got to go to the concert and have some snuggly time with a little one. Lately I have had to avoid all contact with babies. Being within a yard or so of one makes the desire to have another creep up and hit me over the head with a 2x4. But, no more for me, thanks to CF. See? It's an equal opportunity dream destroyer.
Ah, who am I kidding? The two I have are driving me nuts today. Antother, cf or no cf would probablyl put me over theedge from day one. I need to just relax and enjoy what I have.
Take care. Oh, and no pressure on the writing. Write what you want when you want. It's your blog.
