Hi Makayla and welcome to HW, CF room.

If there is a CURE for Cystic Fibrosis this very moment and this is "not soon enough"...you would hear this twins mom "Across America" "YESSSSSSSSSS"!!.

hello,

this situation sounds oh so familiar. i had to get an abortion about a month ago. all the doctors sort of made me ya no. i do have a beautiful 2 yr old however i was healthy when i had him now well lets say im not as lucky. i am too sick anymore. when i was preg this last time, my blood pressure was really really really low and since i have a pancreatic insuffiency i cant keep food. well if i went thru with my pregnancy i had a high chance of killing me,the baby or both. im not telling u what to do..the only person/people who is going to know whats best for u in your situation is YOU and your doctors. i am still sad everyday after the abortion wondering if i woulda been ok however i have a 2 yr old to think about..i think he rather have me around as long as possible without me risking of killing myself sooner if that makes ne sense.

i wish ya the best..i hope i was some kind of help
