You're a mother. How have you dealt with this? You created the foundation, which is something concrete and positive. Beyond that, are there CF support groups? Did you become more religious?

After the initial shock which took awhile to get over, I think you live each day and then it just becomes part of your life and you don't think about it all the time. It rears its head when something comes up or he gets sick and then it hits you in the face again. Although there are no official support groups, from our work with the CF Foundation in Chicago, we know other families and they can be a help when needed. I do not think I became any more religious maybe more spiritual but I think those are two different things.

You're quite right. They are two different things. Good luck with your fund-raiser, Mary Kay. Thanks for talking with me.
